Houston is in for a wild ride weather-wise this week. We're starting off with a foggy Monday morning drive, but by Tuesday, the mercury will be soaring into the low 80s, setting the stage for a record-breaking warmth streak that could see temperatures reach as high as 85 degrees or more.
However, this heat wave won't last forever. A cold front is expected to sweep through late Friday, bringing chilly weather and an end to our above-normal temperatures. But before it gets there, we'll have a chance of thunderstorms and cool temperatures on Sunday, when the Chevron Houston Marathon takes place. Temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 40s at the start of the marathon, making for a brisk morning.
Looking ahead to next week, there's still plenty of winter weather left to come. While we don't have any freezes in our forecast for the next 10 days, it's not out of the question that we could see some cold snaps in the coming weeks.
One thing is certain, though: this week's weather will be quite a ride. With sunshine helping to burn off the clouds and foggy mornings giving way to record-breaking warmth, it's anyone's guess how things will shake out. Just remember to grab your sunscreen on Tuesday and hold onto your hat - and umbrella - as we head into the weekend.
The good news is that while there's a chance of thunderstorms this week, severe weather looks unlikely. Rain chances are low for now, but they're expected to climb as the frontal timing comes into focus.
For marathon runners, it's all about preparation. Dress in layers and be ready for anything on Sunday, when temperatures will be cold enough to warrant gloves and hats. The good news is that the rain chance is limited, so you might just see some sunshine at the finish line.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the week, and don't forget to check back with us for more weather tips and photos from around Houston.

... 40s is FREEZING! And then it's gonna go up to like, 85 degrees? What's the point of training if you're just gonna have to bundle up afterwards 
. At least they said no severe weather, but still, I don't wanna get caught in a downpour on Sunday 
️. Why do these big events always happen when the weather is so unpredictable?! 
! It's gonna be so nice to finally get outta those chilly mornin's 
. And don't even get me started on the potential thunderstorms on Sunday 
- it's like, the ultimate test for our umbrellas and rain boots 
️ fingers crossed for sunshine at the finish line 
but like seriously ppl need gloves & hats 
don't wanna see anyone get frostbite out there. hope it doesn't rain too much either, dont wanna ruin the whole vibe 
and then it's gonna be like, totally different by tuesday 
. but yeah, marathon runners gotta be prepared for anything 
I'm gonna take a guess here, but aren't we talking about Texas again? Don't get me wrong, it's always hot there, but like, isn't that just kinda expected? 
. I'm just saying, if you're a marathon runner, you gotta be prepared for anything, even if the rain chance is low. And omg, sunscreen on Tuesday? Don't forget the hat and umbrella too! 
think we should start bringing our fans on thursday tho lol, but seriously can't wait to see some sunshine after those foggy morns 
Just don't get too comfy in your sunscreen tho, 'cause thunderstorms might make an appearance 
️
. And then there's Sunday, when it's gonna be freezing cold for that marathon... I mean, who even prepares for that? 
️
don't wanna jinx it tho, we all know that weather can be super finicky 
and hopefully some sunshine at the end of it all 
... but hey, at least no severe weather is predicted 
and gloves! 
Also gotta say, 40s at the start of the marathon sounds like a total bummer 
u guys are gonna be sooo ready for this heatwave! i heard that Chevron is planning on having some awesome activations along the marathon course, like water stations with electrolyte-rich drinks 
and music stages to keep the energy high 
. but for real tho, can someone pls tell me how they're even gonna make running in 40s feels fun? 
. But I'm all for that record-breaking warmth on Tuesday... my tan will finally get some love! 
. On the bright side, can't wait for some cool temps later in the week, might actually be able to enjoy a cold drink outside without melting into a puddle 
. Bring on the winter vibes!
