Houston is experiencing a pattern of dense morning fog followed by warm and sunny afternoons, creating tricky conditions for early commuters. While there are no major weather alerts in effect for the city, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of the Houston area, including Inland Harris County, until 10:00 AM CST today.
Current Weather Conditions
The thick fog seen early this morning has reduced visibility on the roads, prompting officials to urge drivers to use headlights, slow down, and stay cautious during their commute. Fortunately, by late morning, the fog will begin to clear, giving way to sunny skies and highs near 76°F (24°C).
This pattern of foggy starts and warm afternoons is expected to persist for another day, but changes are on the horizon.
Cool Front Expected to Arrive Soon
A weak cool front is forecasted to move into the Houston area on Thursday, February 27, bringing slightly cooler temperatures and a small chance of light showers. Highs will dip to 68°F (20°C), with overnight lows dropping to 46°F (8°C)—a noticeable but not drastic cooldown.
Despite the front, no severe weather is expected, and the city will continue to enjoy pleasant conditions for the rest of the week.
