Foggy mornings and record warm afternoons expected until cold front arrives Friday

A prolonged spell of unseasonably warm weather is gripping Houston, with record-breaking highs expected to continue until a cold front sweeps in late Friday.

For now, residents can expect a mix of foggy mornings and balmy afternoons, with temperatures soaring into the low 80s. That's right, folks - it's not just a tease: we could see another round of records broken today through Friday. And if you thought Christmas week was hot, this warm spell might be even hotter.

But don't get too comfortable; a strong cold front is on its way, which will bring an end to the heat and usher in cooler temperatures for the weekend. That means chilly highs on Saturday and Sunday, with only the upper 50s on tap.

Now, about that marathon weekend: not so great for runners, unfortunately. Temperatures are expected to dip into the low-to-mid 40s by Sunday morning, making it a perfect day for bundling up. And while rain is unlikely, there's still a slim chance of showers on Saturday - just 10%.

For now, at least, there are no freezes in sight. But don't be fooled: winter is far from over, and we'll need to keep an eye out for more cold snaps in the coming days.

In the meantime, if you're itching to share your weather photos or videos, ABC13 wants to see 'em! Just hit up their contact form with the goods, and they might just feature them on air.

OMG did u know that Houston has an amazing food truck scene 🀯? I was walking around downtown last weekend and I stumbled upon this crazy good taco truck... anyway, back to the weather... 80s in the low? that's like, totally crazy for texas! i mean, we're all about the summers here but even so... cold front on friday can't come soon enough lol my grandma is gonna freak when it gets chilly again πŸ₯Ά
 
omg it's like 80s in houston already lol what's going on with this record-breaking heatwave?! i'm all for a good summer vibe but can't we just get some decent fall weather for once? anyway, glad the cold front is coming soon, my grandma lives there and she's been saying it's getting way too hot 🌑️. btw, marathon runners might wanna pack those scarves & gloves for saturday πŸ˜‚
 
ugh i'm loving this warm spell but like come on houston can't we have a break from all these record-breaking temps? my poor plants are already dying over here lol. but at the same time, a cold front is on its way so we should probs be prepared for some major chill by sunday... still hoping it doesn't get too crazy cool tho πŸ˜¬πŸ’§
 
OMG, I'm literally sweating just reading about this 🌑️!!! Houston is like, SO hot right now πŸ”₯, I need some AC to survive 😴. And yeah, Christmas week was crazy too, but a whole week of record-breaking heat? That's a lot πŸ’ͺ. Can't wait for that cold front to bring some relief though ❄️. Running is gonna be so bad this weekend, not just for the runners πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ, but also for everyone else who doesn't like shivering πŸ˜‚. And ABC13 wants weather pics? Count me in! Got my phone ready to capture some crazy Houston heat πŸ“ΈπŸ’₯
 
ugh I dont get why people have to enjoy being hot when its actually pretty uncomfortable πŸ€ͺ. I mean, I know some ppl love it but id rather stay indoors w/ AC blowing than be stuck out here feeling like i just walked into a oven all day lol. and now theyre gonna make me bundle up too? that's just cruel πŸ˜‚.
 
Ugh this warm spell is like a tease, isn't it? We get all excited for that perfect summer day, but then reality sets in and we're back to wondering if we should grab our sweatpants or our parka 😩. I mean, can we really trust the weather forecast? It's like trying to predict human emotions - unpredictable and prone to mood swings.

And runners, oh man, you guys are in for a real treat... not πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. But at least it's just temporary, right? Winter might be lurking around the corner, waiting to pounce. I guess that's just life, though - one moment of bliss and the next, something cold and unforgiving 😬.

But hey, while we're stuck in this limbo, let's enjoy those balmy afternoons, shall we? Grab a cold drink, find a comfy spot, and soak up the sunshine πŸ’›. It might not last forever, but for now, it's here, and that's all we can ask for, I suppose.
