With Valentine's Day coming up in just one week, the weather in Houston looks like it will be pleasant for family trips, love dates, and Galentine's Day parties. It gets between 47°F and 68°F in the morning and afternoon in Texas in February, a changeable month for the weather.
On the other hand, history shows that mid-February can bring extreme weather, like the Texas freeze of 2021, when it was below freezing for 44 hours. Houston got 20 inches of snow on February 14 and 15, 1895, the most reported snow there.
This year's forecast doesn't call for snow, which is good news, but Houstonians should get ready for rain early in the week. A cold front is expected to come through next week.
From Monday to Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will bring between half an inch and an inch of rain. But the weather should be clear by Wednesday night, making for a cool, crisp, and lovely Valentine's Day with highs in the mid-60s and dry skies—great for plans to be outside.

January will bring additional rules affecting app stores and immigration enforcement.

Most Houston drivers only think about collision shops on the worst day of their year. On Holzwarth Road, at a place called Axis Collision, the work of putting those damaged cars back together happens quietly, one vehicle at a time.
