HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — This warm, humid and foggy pattern continues through the weekend until out next front rolls through just in time for the last few days of 2025.
A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Houston and counties along and south of I-10 Thursday morning until 10 a.m. Thick sea fog has rolled back in tonight as this warm, humid pattern continues to linger across the region. Visibility levels before sunrise could drop to as low as a quarter to half a mile at times, especially along the coast. This fog will begin to lift after the sun rises this morning and we’ll see a few more peeks of sunshine Christmas afternoon. Temperatures in the morning will start in the mid 60s and climb into the low 80s in the afternoon. The record high temperature for December 25th is 83 degrees, and we’ll be close to that record today with a forecast high of 81 in Houston today.
How bad will the sea fog get this week?
The combination of very moist air in contact with the cool waters over the Gulf and Galveston Bay will give us a sea fog issue this week and into the weekend. Inland areas will see the fog during the early morning hours while coastal locations will deal with it off and on throughout the day and night. At time the visibility will drop below 1/2 mile so be careful.
We know it’s very warm, but are there any more freezes in the forecast?
Yes, this spring-like pattern will eventually come to an end next week. A cold front is expected to swing through Southeast Texas late Sunday night and into Monday morning of next week, opening the door for colder, less humid air to arrive for the last few days of 2025. The latest data says our northern counties may experience a light freeze New Years Eve morning. Meanwhile, temperatures will stay very warm and near record levels for this time of year through Sunday with morning lows in the mid-upper 60s and afternoon highs in the low 80s.
What about some measurable rain or any storms?
While there’s the chance for a few passing showers Friday through Sunday with this warm, humid pattern, we don’t have much rain on the horizon until a front rolls through on Sunday. That said, some of the recent relief from drought conditions we saw this past fall wont last long, so drought conditions could creep back into the region.
