Houston is set for an unseasonably warm week, with temperatures climbing into the 80s—more typical of April than February. While mostly sunny skies dominate, mild nights and morning fog persist. A weekend cold front could bring a return to seasonal norms.

With temperatures predicted to reach the 80s this week, far above seasonal norms for early February, Houston is tasting spring early. The National Weather Service expects the warm weather to be accompanied by largely bright sky and moderate evenings.
Patchy morning fog starts the week, then clears late morning as temps rise toward 75°F today. Monday's highs on the warming trend reach the upper 70s, and by Tuesday through Thursday, temperatures may hang close to 80°F. The Houston Chronicle claims certain locations might even challenge the day high-temperature record established in 2008.
Though the temperature is pleasant, little forecast precipitation. January saw 4.23 inches of precipitation, 13% over average; February is supposed to be drier. Though morning fog and light precipitation could last mid-week, generally the circumstances are quite clear.
Houston's brief period of exceptionally warm weather would be ended by a possible cold front shifting temperatures back to seasonal averages by the weekend. Residents can savor the unusual February weather until later when colder days return.
