Houston weather: Cool morning, warm evening for Thursday
Though the morning starts off cool in the 50s, things start to warm up throughout the day thanks to plenty of sunshine. Highs for the afternoon will be in the low 80s, which is a great way to bring in spring on Friday.
HOUSTON - Things are continuing to slowly warm up in Southeast Texas with more sunny days. Highs will reach into the low 80s.
Warming trend underway
Southeast Texas continues to warm up today with plenty of sunshine and lighter winds. After the recent cool stretch, it’s starting to feel much more like springtime with comfortable weather this afternoon and no rain expected.
Spring arrives Friday morning
The spring equinox occurs Friday morning at 9:46am, officially marking the start of the new season. Right on schedule, a heat wave will begin with another sunny, warm day and a continued trend toward milder mornings and hotter afternoons heading into the weekend and beyond.
Record heat possible this weekend
Temperatures will surge to levels more typical of May this weekend. Forecast highs are expected to approach, and possibly break, daily high temperature records. Houston’s records for this time of year are in the upper 80s to near 90°, and forecast highs are right in that range. It's quite a change from the freezing temps we had just a few days ago.
