This weekend, Houston's weather will change dramatically. After a cold and dry week, it will rain and get warmer. Starting Friday evening and going through Sunday, a coastal low-pressure system will bring more clouds and rain.
West of Houston on Friday night, there could be a light freezing drizzle, especially along I-35 and I-10. This could make the roads slippery in those places. The city will stay cold and cloudy until Saturday when it will rain.
Be ready for rain if you want to go to Galveston for Mardi Gras. Early on Saturday, light showers will start to happen, and they will spread out all day. Temperatures will be hard to get above the 40s, so the weekend will start out cold and wet.
Not only will it rain less on Sunday, but the temperature will also change. It will continue to rain in the morning, but the high temperature will reach the 60s, which is a significant change from Saturday's cold. By afternoon, thunderstorms might start to form, which could cause heavy rain in some places. The good news? At this point, bad weather, like tornadoes, is not predicted.
The storms and rain should end late Sunday afternoon, making way for a dry start to next week. People in Houston should keep umbrellas on hand because the weather will be changing and wet this weekend.
