HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After a weak front, fog has settled into some Houston-area neighborhoods. After the fog burns off we’ll make our first run at 90-degrees in 2021.
It’s going to get a little toasty Thursday! We’ll fare better than places like Laredo which will make a run into the triple digits.
But we do have some cool fronts left in the pipeline before the summer heat really settles in. https://t.co/kYz1z4P7gd pic.twitter.com/zZFO5KCjOF

Expect lots of sunshine Thursday afternoon before the Gulf breeze blows back in moisture ahead of our next front.
When else could we get rain this week?
The next opportunity comes late Friday. That’s when the next cool front arrives with a better chance of pushing offshore. The chance for thunderstorms also looks better with this storm system, and severe weather is possible, especially north of I-10. Some showers could linger into Saturday morning.
What else can we expect for the weekend ahead?
After the rain clears Saturday morning, it should be a mostly dry weekend. Humidity levels will drop behind the front Saturday and stay at a pleasant level through most of Sunday. Highs will still climb into the 80s with lows in the upper 50s Sunday morning.
How hot will it get this week?
Our warmest day looks to be Thursday between the two storm systems. Temperatures will spike all across Texas, especially in the southern half of the state. Places like Laredo could heat up into the triple digits! In Houston, some vehicle and patio thermometers could reach into the low 90s.
