Weather has been pretty quiet so far this spring break week but things are starting to change. Warm and humid air has returned and a few showers and storms will be possible Thursday. A cold front will move in and stall across the area increasing our chance for more widespread showers and storms Friday and Saturday. Rounds of heavy rain will increase our flood threat with the highest flash flood risk expected Saturday. A few storms the next few days could also turn strong to severe with some gusty wind and hail. Best chance for this will be in our northern counties. Cold front will bring another round of showers and storms Sunday as it finally picks up speed and pushes through Houston. That will mean drier air and more comfortable temperatures as you return to work after spring break.

Humidity and warmer temperatures rushing back into Southeast Texas. Wednesday should be mostly dry from rain but you'll feel the moisture in the air with "muggy" returning to the forecast for the last days of Spring Break. A stalling front brings rainy days on Friday and Saturday but not complete washouts. Look for a few stronger storms to be mixed in with the showers. A stronger cold front will push into Houston at the end of the weekend and clear out most of the rain for the start of the workweek.
