There is a severe weather risk with strong storms expected ahead of a cold front that will dramatically drop our temperatures from the mid-70s Saturday to the mid-50s Sunday.
FORECAST: Houston, buckle up for roller coaster temperatures and severe Saturday storms
We’ll watch the entire area to ensure you and your family are safe today with an added focus on areas like Piney Woods, Crockett, Livingston, and surrounding areas. The severe weather outlook has shifted a little to the east since we started updating you this morning at 6 a.m., so these storms and the timing - are still a little fluid, but that’s why we will update you throughout the storm with the latest information.
Weather timeline
