DISCUSSION
Southerly winds will begin to bring milder temperatures and slowly increasing cloudiness to our region. This should continue through Friday and we may even see a return of some patchy areas of fog by Friday. Another cold front should move into southeast Texas on Saturday. We may see a slight chance of showers with the cold front followed by partly cloudy skies and chilly temperatures for the weekend. Overall, the pattern appears to be fairly typical for early January.
