Houston Weather: Cool Saturday Morning Gives Way to Mild Afternoon

Residents across Houston are waking up to cooler air this Saturday morning as a dry, calm weather pattern settles over Southeast Texas. Temperatures early today sit in the upper 40s to mid-50s across the metro area, offering a crisp start before sunshine gradually warms the region.

Clear Skies and Mild Afternoon Ahead

Forecasters report that dry air and light winds will keep conditions stable throughout the day. As the morning chill fades, afternoon highs are expected to reach the upper 60s and low 70s in most neighborhoods. Skies should remain mostly clear, giving the city a pleasant break from recent humidity.

Because winds stay light, most outdoor events and business activities should proceed without issue. Drivers may notice pockets of early morning fog in low-lying areas, but visibility improves quickly after sunrise.

Why It Matters for Houston

The cooler start helps energy demand remain moderate, which benefits both households and businesses managing heating and cooling costs. Weekend outdoor workers, including those in construction, landscaping, and service industries, will see comfortable conditions through the afternoon.

Retailers and restaurants may also experience increased foot traffic today, thanks to the clear weather and mild temperatures that often encourage residents to get outside.

What’s Next

Conditions stay steady through the remainder of the weekend. Overnight lows will remain cool, but daytime temperatures trend slightly warmer by Sunday. No major rain chances appear in the short-term outlook, which means travel and outdoor plans should remain uninterrupted.

However, forecasters note that a weak front may arrive early next week. While it is not expected to produce significant rainfall, it could bring another round of cooler air.
