The final rodeo weekend is here

The final weekend of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is upon us and the weather forecast is leaning into peak Texas weather mood springs, ranging from a warm and breezy Saturday to the prospect of severe storms Sunday.

Make sure you bring your sunscreen Saturday. Highs will be in the mid-80s. Sunday a cold front is forecast to push closer to Southeast Texas during the afternoon. As temperatures rise into the lower and mid-80s, a few storms could bubble up. Read the full forecast here.

I personally can't believe another year's rodeo season is coming to an end. Fortunately, we have March Madness and the return of the Astros (sign up for our brand new Inside Pitch newsletter to stay in-the-know this season) to keep us entertained next week.

Up Next: Brooks & Dunn

Brooks & Dunn was a young country act with just one album under its belt buckle when the duo made its RodeoHouston debut in 1992. "Boot Scootin' Boogie" wasn't even a hit yet. They then returned to the rodeo every year through 2010.

Many Houston rodeo attendees sport these flashy, fun, interesting and unique belts and buckles. In our latest "What's That Cost" video, we checked out how much these come out to.

📅 The calendar

March 22: Brooks Dunn
March 23: Luke Bryan
