Recent National Weather Service forecasts and ensemble model outputs from GFS and ECMWF are driving trader consensus toward highs of 82-85°F in Houston on March 26, with 82-83°F leading at 31.5% implied probability amid a tight race. A persistent upper-level ridge over Texas is promoting warm advection from the south, boosting surface temperatures above the late-March climatological average of ~76°F, while Gulf of Mexico moisture tempers extremes via potential afternoon clouds or isolated showers. Differentiating factors include model spread on boundary layer mixing and exact ridge axis placement—favoring 84-85°F if clearer skies prevail—versus slight overcast risks pulling toward 80-81°F. Traders eye tomorrow's 12z model runs for resolution shifts, as small variances in dewpoints and winds could swing outcomes by 2-3°F.
