Houston weather: Warm Monday in the 80s, spotty showers throughout the week

HOUSTON - Muggy with patchy fog Monday morning, then partly cloudy and warm with highs in the mid 80s.

Spring-like weather this week

A brief north breeze today will drop humidity slightly today, but temperatures will still run 5 to 10 degrees above average today through Friday. Winds will increase from the south tomorrow, and it looks like a very breezy and muggy pattern Wednesday through Friday. A few stray drizzles are possible each day, but stormy weather should stay north of our area.

Weekend storms expected

A cold front is expected to arrive either Saturday or Sunday, so a round of storms is very likely.

For now, it's a bit early to be very confident about exact timing, but prepare for storms any time from midday Saturday through midday Sunday. The weekend rainfall should be the only significant rain for the next 10 days or so.

Much cooler next week

Amazingly, after highs in the upper 80s this week, next week we could have highs near 70 with lows in the 50s, so if you've already had enough of the warm and muggy air, this may be one last chance for a while to enjoy a refreshing "whoosh" of air.
