Weekend forecast
Weekend forecast From Space City Weather: FRIDAY - The 🔥 is back! *Highs will crest in the low 80s, maybe even mid-80s for some locations, thanks to a warm southerly flow ahead of our next front.
*Winds will be gusty from the south, up to 25 mph.
*The record high temperature for today is 81 degrees and I'm fairly confident we'll strike above that comfortably. *In fact, we will be about 20 degrees warmer today than is customary for early January.
*The warmth will be goosed by mostly sunny skies.
*Lows tonight will only drop to about 60 degrees, before cooler and drier air arrives on Saturday morning. 
SATURDAY & SUNDAY - *The weekend won't feel much like January typically feels in Houston, but it's going to be gorgeous all the same.
*We should have wall-to-wall sunshine & lower humidity.
*Saturday morning will be a bit windy, with northerly winds up to about 20 mph, but they should back down during the afternoon.
*Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 70s.
*Lows Saturday night will drop to around 50 degrees.
*Sunday will be splendid and sunny with highs around 70 degrees.
*We'll have another night with lows around 50 degrees on Sunday night. 
NEXT WEEK - *Much of next week looks warm for January as a ridge high pressure builds over the central United States.
*Monday probably will not reach the 80s but most of the rest of the week will be in the vicinity.
*Skies will be mostly sunny during the daytime and with dewpoints in the low 60s it will feel moderately humid.
*Nights will be mild.
*At some point, a stronger front will push into the region later next week, probably late on Friday or Saturday.
*I don't have much confidence yet in the details of that front, but there could be a modest splash of rain with the front, perhaps on the order of one-half inch.
*For many parts of Houston, there has not been significant rain in nearly four weeks, so anything would be welcome. HOUSTON MARATHON - As for my runners, let's hope that front makes it in time for the Houston Marathon on Sunday. I'm about 75 percent confident that it will, and we'll have start-line temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s, with drier air. But there are risks. One is that the front is delayed, in which case we'll be quite a bit warmer and muggier. Another is that the front comes through just before the run, and we see some lingering showers. Overall, I'm hopeful about race-day conditions, but not confident yet.
