Houston weather: Storms continue through Friday, Saturday rain brings humidity

Rain should gradually taper off tonight into early Saturday. After the rain ends, though, we won't be feeling much cooler.

Heavy rain, strong to severe storms possible through Friday evening

A Tornado Watch has been issued for Liberty and Polk Counties until 7pm Friday. Any thunderstorm that develops could bring heavy rain, strong winds and the threat of a brief isolated tornado.

A Flood Advisory also remains in effect until 6:45 pm for E/SE Harris County, including Channelview, Deer Park, and Pasadena. With 1-2" of rain falling in a short period of time, watch out for a few flooded streets.

Rain should gradually taper off tonight into early Saturday.

Warm, humid weekend after Saturday AM rain

Unlike rain that comes from a cold front, this round of storms formed along an upper-level area of low pressure. The result is that we won't feel any cooler after the rain ends.

Highs are likely to reach the mid 80s both Saturday and Sunday with heat index values that could reach 90.

Rain is still possible for the weekend, but showers should be isolated and short-lived.

A system may clip our northern counties on Sunday afternoon, bringing an isolated strong to severe storm, so stay alert for changes.

Very warm weather pattern ahead

Highs will remain in the low 80s early next work week, but should build into the upper 80s by Wednesday with the extended forecast including several days in the upper 80s with isolated showers.
