Near-record warmth continues
Today stays warm and humid across Southeast Texas. Skies start mostly cloudy, with lingering patchy fog possible near the coast early this morning. Clouds will thin at times this afternoon, allowing temperatures to climb into the upper 70s to low 80s once again. That keeps us running well above normal and close to daily record highs. In Houston, the record high for today is 81 degrees set in 2020.
Low temperatures remain unusually mild, only falling into the low to mid 60s. The record high minimum temperature is 68 degrees set in 1931.
Fog again?
