Thursday’s Forecast:
Thursday is one of those hit and miss rain shower days. There will be a few rumbles of thunder with the chance of rain at 40%, with spotty and widely separated storms. Most of the area is likely to stay quiet Thursday morning, with a better chance for rain developing later in the day, although some neighborhoods could stay dry entirely.
Thursday’s street flooding threat is northwest of Houston.
Friday’s Forecast:
Houston can expect significant rainfall on Friday, with storms likely to bring widespread heavy rain and a higher threat of street flooding. Rainfall projections show totals ranging from around 1.5 to as much as 4 inches in some northern spots, with slightly lower amounts closer to the coast. The most intense activity is expected north of I-10, where the potential for street flooding will be higher thanks to the sheer intensity of the rain.
The above slight threat means the flood threat is expected to be more than just isolated. Friday’s rain comes in two waves, one in the morning and another with the cold front. The cold front moves through late Friday.
This series of downpours will add to an already wet April, which saw just over 5 inches of rain, above average. And Friday’s soaking will help further improve drought conditions around the region.
A cool and breezy Saturday with a near perfect Sunday:
Once Friday’s storms clear, things change in a hurry. A cold front is forecast to sweep through Friday night, ushering in noticeably cooler and breezy weather Saturday. Highs to start the weekend are expected to reach 68° with lows dipping into the 50s.
Sunday climbs to the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
