Foggy Mornings Give Way to Record Warm Afternoons in Southeast Texas Before Cold Front Arrives
Residents of southeast Texas can expect a gloomy start to their week, with widespread dense fog making morning commutes hazardous until 10 am on Wednesday. However, as the day progresses, sunshine and warm temperatures will move into the region, pushing highs into the low-to-mid 80s for several days.
A new record high of 82 was set on Tuesday afternoon, and another record-breaking temperature is possible on Wednesday, according to forecasters. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for most counties in southeast Texas until 10 am, with dense fog likely persisting along the coast throughout the day. However, inland areas can expect ample sunshine and warm temperatures in the 60s and low 80s.
The warm spell is expected to continue through Friday, with highs reaching into the low 80s, potentially leading to more record-breaking temperatures like those experienced during the week of Christmas. The humid air moving over cooler shelf waters will also contribute to sea fog along the coast.
A strong cold front is set to move into the region late on Friday, bringing an end to the streak of above-normal temperatures and ushering in cool weather for the entire weekend. While there is no severe weather forecasted at this time, a chance of thunderstorms cannot be ruled out as the front passes through, with a 40% chance of rain climbing as confidence grows in the frontal timing.
Marathon Weekend Takes a Chill
For runners participating in marathon weekend on Saturday and Sunday, the cold front will bring chilly temperatures, with highs limited to the upper 50s. Temperatures at the start of the marathon on Sunday are expected to be in the low-to-mid 40s, with highs reaching into the upper 50s under a mostly cloudy sky with a north breeze around 15 mph.
While there is currently no forecast for freezing temperatures in the next 10 days, winter is still lurking, and more freezes could occur as the season wears on.
