Houston weather: Mostly sunny, windy, cooler Thursday with afternoon highs in mid 60s

So far, we are on pace for the warmest January on record, but we do have much cooler air on the way over the next couple of nights along with sunny, cool and dry days. A cold front this morning has ushered in a pattern change that will last through this weekend with overnight temperatures falling into the upper 30s in many spots. Temperatures for the Houston Marathon look nice, but might be a little warm for runners by the end of the race. Watch for the return of showers by the MLK Day holiday.
