Houston, Texas – A cold front moving across Southeast Texas Saturday is shifting winds north and cooling afternoon temperatures across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, inland areas are expected to reach highs between 79 and 83 degrees, while beaches remain cooler, ranging from 74 to 78 degrees. Winds will become northerly behind the front, helping clear cloud cover through the afternoon.
Forecasters say skies will transition from mostly cloudy to mostly clear by evening as drier air filters into the region. A smattering of light showers is possible, primarily around Galveston Bay and the lower Trinity Valley, though widespread rainfall is not expected.
Major corridors including Interstate 45, U.S. 59, Interstate 10 and the Gulf Freeway may see brief damp pavement early in the day, particularly closer to the coast. However, improving conditions are expected by late afternoon as cloud cover decreases.
Temperatures across the Houston metro area are projected to range from the upper 70s to near 80 degrees, with slightly cooler readings north of Interstate 10 and warmer spots southwest toward Wharton and Bay City.
The shift to northerly winds may be noticeable for outdoor events and beachgoers, especially during the morning hours.
Conditions are expected to remain dry into the evening with clearing skies across the Upper Texas Coast.
