Lots of wind Friday evening with temps in the 50s

Plan on chilly weather for much of the weekend but no rain to ruin your outdoor plans! Mardi Gras in Galveston kicks off this evening and will feature numerous parades and a lot of excitement! Grab the jackets for tonight with temperatures expected to be in the 30s and wind gusts will be around 30-35 mph. Wind Advisory continues until 9 PM for the Brazoria, Galveston & Matagorda Islands. It also includes the Bolivar Peninsula. Temperatures inland, especially north of Houston could get close to freezing early Saturday morning. So protect any sensitive plants and crank up the heat a bit tonight if you are sensitive to the cold. Super Bowl Sunday looks pleasant by the afternoon with temps in the low 60s and dry weather for watch parties. Few showers will return Monday but a much better chance for widespread rain is back on Valentine's Day Tuesday. Have a great weekend and don't forget to download the FOX 26 weather app!
