In Houston, winter is notorious for its unpredictable weather fluctuations, and this week is no exception. Foggy mornings, cloudy skies, and a midweek return of precipitation are all being anticipated by the city following the snowfall of last week.
Foggy mornings and dry afternoons are anticipated for Houston.
Starting the workweek on a relatively tranquil note. Following a misty weekend, it is anticipated that intermittent fog will develop on Monday and Tuesday mornings, particularly in the vicinity of and south of Interstate 10. The fog is expected to dissipate by midday; however, drivers may wish to allocate additional time for their commutes.
Cloudy skies will prevail on both days, perpetuating a gloomy atmosphere in Southeast Texas. Despite the clouds, temperatures will reach the lower to middle 60s, which is fairly typical for late January.
As the week progresses, Houston's weather undergoes another transformation. The cold front that caused the rain on Sunday will reappear on Wednesday, this time, as a mild front. In addition to the likelihood of thunderstorms and showers, the front will bring warmer, more humid air.
Middle of the week, residents should anticipate unsettled weather due to the warm front, which may result in thunderstorms and periods of heavy rainfall. Tune in for updates as forecasts become more precise.
While the winter weather in Houston may be unpredictable, preparing for it can mitigate the effects of the fluctuations. Keep a watch on the forecast as we transition into the stormier portion of the week.

Critics say the Montgomery County Republican Party steering committee's January 14, 2026, minutes promoted internal factionalism rather than coalition-building. The declaration challenges efforts to weaken local Republican women's organizations and criticizes law enforcement terminology. Montgomery County Republicans should prioritize unity, transparency, and voter involvement while seeking new leadership.
