Houston is experiencing another foggy morning as an unusually warm weather pattern persists in the region. Residents of Southeast Texas can anticipate more fog on Wednesday morning as the warm conditions continue.
The Brief
Widespread Fog Expected Wednesday Morning
Unseasonably Warm Weather Through the Weekend
Brief Cool-down Anticipated Before New Year’s
As the warm weather trend lingers, fog and low clouds are expected to blanket the Houston and Galveston areas, particularly along the beaches and bays. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until noon on Wednesday, indicating that visibility may be significantly reduced.
By the afternoon, temperatures are predicted to rise, with many areas reaching at least 80°F, making it feel more like spring than winter. The record high for this date in Houston is 82°F, which could be at risk of being surpassed.
Warm Christmas Forecast
This warm weather pattern is expected to extend through Christmas Day, fueled by Gulf breezes and high humidity levels, leading to a holiday atmosphere that feels more like spring. Currently, there are no significant fronts or widespread rain predicted that would disrupt Christmas plans, with morning fog and high temperatures near 80°F being the main weather concerns.
New Year’s Outlook
Looking ahead to the New Year, forecast confidence is decreasing, but indications of a potential pattern shift are emerging. Some weather models suggest that a cooler air mass might move into the area around New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, possibly bringing a more seasonal chill to Southeast Texas. However, this cooler period is expected to be short-lived, lasting about three days.
