Warm, windy, cloudy with temps in the 80s this Friday evening
Our severe storm threat remains elevated across SE Texas through the rest of today and especially tonight. Most of the area remains under a Category 2 out of 5 threat for severe weather with a higher Category 3 out of 5 risk in our northern communities. Between now and 7 p.m., there will be a threat for a few supercell storms that could produce damaging winds or a brief tornado. Then I expect a line of storms to develop that will roll through between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. Saturday. Damaging winds 58+ MPH will be possible with this line. So make sure you have the FOX 26 Weather app downloaded and have the alerts for your area turned on. Weather calms down for World Series Game 6 Saturday evening with no rain expected downtown. Election Day Tuesday also looks quiet.

Possible showers as severe weather approaches Friday afternoon
Travel may get implicated, both on the roads and in the skies today as folks head to Houston for game 6 of the World Series. Please be extremely careful if driving especially after dark. Isolated strong to severe storms may pop up locally this afternoon through early evening. Past 10 p.m. or so, the threat shifts to the potential for straight-line damaging winds as the line of storms rolls through. Power outages are likely, along with isolated wind damage and briefly heavy rain/frequent thunder and lightning. Tornado and hail threats are lower for us, but cannot be completely ruled out. After a rocky start to the weekend, the rest of it looks fantastic and we can look forward to celebrating a game 6 win with an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning! The majority of next week will be quiet, sunny, and dry with seasonably warm temperatures.
