It has been dry and cold in Galveston for a while now. This weekend will be rainy and cold, but it will be just in time for Mardi Gras.
Southeast Texas will see more clouds on Friday because of a low-pressure system off the coast. Showers will start on Friday night and last through Saturday morning. In places west of Houston, there may be light freezing rain. In Galveston, scattered showers during the day will become more common by evening. On Saturday, it won't get above the mid-40s, and by nightfall, it will be in the upper 30s, so if you want to party, bring a poncho and warm layers.
It will rain more on Sunday morning and get warmer, hitting the low 60s. But by afternoon, thunderstorms might start to happen, bringing heavy rain to some places. The good news? It doesn't look like there will be any tornadoes, and the models say the showers and storms will stop by late Sunday afternoon.
People going to Galveston's Mardi Gras celebrations should expect cool and rainy weather all weekend. It will be essential to have umbrellas and raincoats, and the roads may be slippery. The rain may make the streets wet, but it won't stop the party!
