Happy Saturday, Houston! 

I hope you're enjoying your weekend before the city gets a cold blast from the arctic front moving in. The system is expected to arrive on Sunday and produce the city's coldest temperatures since December 2022. Here's a timeline of its expected impact on the city. 

Before the weather moves into the area here are options on how to spend time in Galveston if a day at the beach turns out wet, cold or rainy. 

The city is buzzing with anticipation as the Texans take on the Cleveland Browns in the NFL wild-card round later today. If you're looking for a place to catch the game with a crowd, here are some places to find Texans-Browns watch parties.

❄️ Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!
