Houston weather: Windy, chilly day ahead for Saturday

A cold front will sweep through overnight into Saturday, ending rain but ushering in a sharp temperature drop and gusty north winds. Saturday will feel dramatically different, with much cooler air, blustery winds, and falling temperatures through the day. By early Sunday morning, runners in the Chevron Houston Marathon can expect a chilly start, favoring performance but requiring warm layers before and after the race, especially for volunteers and spectators.
