Veterans Day Weekend Weather Warm-Up
A brisk Veterans Day morning in Houston gave way to a stunning warm-up on Wednesday, with temperatures soaring into the low 70s as the Gulf breeze returned. The cold air that had settled over the region just days ago has largely dissipated, and high pressure will dominate the weather pattern for the rest of the week.
Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to stay in the 80s for the remainder of the week, with lows dipping back into the 60s by Wednesday night. For a time-honored tradition in Houston, average highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s are normal for this time of year.
However, a new weather system is expected to impact the region over the weekend, with rain chances currently listed at just 20-30%. While the track of this low-pressure system remains uncertain, it's possible that rain could become more widespread if the system moves through the state. A second storm system is also on the horizon for next week, which could bring a more significant threat of severe weather.
Meanwhile, the tropics are quiet at the moment, with no expected tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days.

The fact that they're getting a warm-up is great, but have you seen how much of a relief it is to not be stuck in that cold air anymore? It's like the government finally got something right, you know? And now we've got another storm system coming our way... it's like politics as usual - can't even get the weather right. 
Still, 20-30% chance of rain doesn't seem so bad, I guess. Maybe we'll be able to make some progress on those infrastructure projects while we're stuck indoors. And hey, at least the tropics are quiet for now... let's not get too excited just yet. 
! I was literally freezing my butt off yesterday morning and now I can actually enjoy spending time outside without needing to wear a parka 
. But, I guess that's short-lived since there's supposed to be some rain on the weekend 
. Can't win, right? At least it's not like those crazy severe weather storms we've been hearing about lately 
. Anyway, I just hope they can get some good rainfall in, our plants need it 
.
i was starting to think spring was never gonna show up. but yeah, now that the weather's back on track, cant wait to get out and enjoy it! did anyone else notice how windy it was yesterday though? blew my hair every which way 
Now, I know some people are gonna complain about the rain that might roll in over the weekend, but honestly, a little precipitation never hurt anyone. Plus, it's always nice to have an excuse to grab a cold drink outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts 
. Fingers crossed those storm systems don't bring anything too crazy our way! 
the 70s are like the new normal or something? idk how much more of this 50-60 degree weather we could take lol. but seriously though, rain is coming over the weekend so we should probably prep our umbrellas and stuff 
cant wait to celebrate in style with a pool party and no worries about getting caught in the rain 
. And now this new system next week... not sure what to expect. Hope it's just some scattered showers and we don't get slammed with severe weather. 
. Can't we just have some stability for once? 
... 20-30% rain chances for the weekend? that's still kinda sketchy 
... we can't afford to get caught off guard by those storms 
... but like, we gotta stay alert for that rain system coming through 
... and ugh, severe weather next week? not what i need 
... anyone else loving these 70s temps tho?! 
also idk what's up with this weather system thats coming over the weekend but fingers crossed its just some gentle showers 
we dont need more flooding in houston 
anyway i'm hyped for the warm weather and plan on hitting the beach this wkend
