Breezy south winds today will be strong, particularly around and coastward of I-10. Drivers of high-profile vehicles will need to be prepared for difficulty added by these winds when driving on east-west roads and highways. If you have loose, lightweight objects outdoors, be sure to secure them this morning! In the advisory area, expect winds of 15-25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
South winds have boosted overnight temperatures, setting us up for a warm day today with highs reaching into the 70s to middle 80s. Those winds will be strengthening as well, with sustained winds around and coastward of I-10 reaching 15-25 mph, and gusts up to 35 mph.
Before a weak cold front arrives tomorrow night to modestly blunt temperatures, near-record warmth is expected tomorrow afternoon. All of the area's primary climate sites are forecast to be within a few degrees of their daily record highs. Better potential for a new record will be farther inland, particularly at Houston (IAH), where the forecast high is the same as the daily record.
We've got a weak front set to move through Thursday night, and it can be reliably expected to change the winds, briefly bring some more clouds, and...that's about it. Temperatures will be modestly nudged downwards, but above-average warmth and fair weather will continue through the weekend.
