HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Our weekend weather ahead looks spectacular, but we do have a potent weather system arriving Tuesday that could bring severe storms to Southeast Texas. For that reason, we have declared an ABC13 Weather Watch for Tuesday.

Temperatures overnight will dip down toward a seasonal low around 50 degrees with fog possible in the morning. The fog will be short-lived, and the abundance of sunshine will warm temperatures quickly toward the low 80s. If your are heading to the Rodeo parade downtown, then make sure you stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun!

By the evening, some sea fog could return along the coast for Mardi Gras in Galveston. Temperatures at the time of the Knights of Momus Grand Night parade should stay in the 60s.

How does the weather look for the rest of the weekend?

Sunday looks spectacular! Temperature will warm from the low 50s to the mid 70s with a mix of clouds and sun. It will be a breezy day ahead of the storm system coming our way on Tuesday.

What are the chances we get severe weather on Tuesday?

At this time it looks like there's about a 70% chance you'll get rain with a 15% chance one of the storms near you could turn severe. The winds will be rather strong around this storm system, so even without any storms we expect wind gusts over 40 mph which could lead to isolated power outages. Any storm that does turn severe could produce wind gusts over 60 mph, hail, and tornadoes. The core of the anticipated severe weather outbreak will be well to our northeast, but we will be on the southern edge of where severe weather could occur.

Are we done with freezes now?

While we cannot 100% rule out a late season freeze just yet, more than likely we are done with freezes. On average, Houston's last night in the 30s occurs around mid March. If we see any signs of a light freeze or frost on the horizon, we'll be sure to let you know!
