Warm, light winds Thursday evening in the 70s

The weekend is getting closer and there's lots of fun things to do around Houston & Galveston. So we need the weather to cooperate! There's the kickoff of Mardi Gras in Galveston Friday and of course, it's Super Bowl Weekend with lots of local watch parties and events surrounding that Sunday. Weather should be dry this weekend but it will be colder thanks to a cold front rolling in tonight. That front won't bring rain but it will bring in some chilly air and windy weather for Friday. Look for gusts near 30 mph & make sure to secure any lightweight or loose objects in your yard. Temps should only climb to the 50s Friday afternoon and dip to near-freezing Friday night. So make sure your pets are warm & your plants are protected. We climb to near 60 Saturday and Sunday afternoon with a decent amount of sunshine anticipated.

After a chilly start, Thursday afternoon will be beautiful, mild and dry. As we kick off Mardi Gras Tomorrow, beads won't be the only things flying. Plan for wind gusts to 30, perhaps 30mph that will have things feeling much colder than the thermometer reads. Secure light/loose objects and keep plants and pets in mind, as a few locations may get down near freezing. You'll also want layers for yourself, especially after dark for weekend festivities. By Sunday, gulf breezes return increasing humidity, temps and cloud cover early next week. A few showers may be in the mix Monday, Tuesday will have to get watched a little more closely for the potential for storms.
