If you thought Thursday’s storms were intense, Friday is shaping up to be very similar for Southeast Texas.
A stubborn boundary stretched along I-10 is once again expected to spark strong thunderstorms, making for another active weather day.
By 7 a.m. Friday, coastal showers may roll through, with the possibility of thunderstorms to the north.

Friday’s forecast:
The primary threat is street flooding.
Later in the day, starting around 1 p.m., the Houston area is forecast to see scattered, strong thunderstorms. This time, the storms could be more widespread, prompting a 60% chance of storms—higher than Thursday’s odds.
Storms earlier this week packed 40 mph winds and hail, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on conditions.
Flood risk across most of Southeast Texas
With repeated rounds of slow-moving storms, much of Southeast Texas is under a heightened flood risk. The KPRC 2 Weather Team points to the same boundary that’s been fueling storms as the trigger for the increased flooding threat. The flood risk area covers almost all of Southeast Texas, except for some far northwestern cities—a detail that remains unclear based on current information.
While significant flooding wasn’t reported with Thursday’s storms, the meteorologist says conditions remain favorable for flooding due to the slow nature of these thunderstorms. Hail and gusty winds have already been observed, reminding everyone to stay weather-aware.
Weekend Forecast:
On Saturday, rain chances are 40% with temperatures in the mid-90s. Sunday and Monday looks quieter with just a 20% chance of an afternoon sea breeze storm.
Hurricane Erin:
Erin is quickly moving away from the United States but rough seas and dangerous rip current will affect the east coast Friday.
A lot to watch in the Atlantic but nothing impactful just yet:
There is a 70 percent chance the red system below will strengthen into Tropical Storm Fernand in the next two days, it will follow a similar path as Erin but farther to the east. Another tropical wave southeast of this has a 40% chance of development and could head on a more westerly path toward the Windward Islands by next Tuesday. Not much to say about the yellow disturbance.

Your extended forecast:
Temperatures will be lower on Friday because of the frontal boundary, rain and clouds. Sunday and Monday will be quieter with an isolate sea breeze storm possible. We return to an active weather pattern Tuesday.
