Thursday Midday Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

The latest drought monitor shows worsening conditions locally, with extreme drought now across much of Harris and Montgomery counties, including The Woodlands. Some relief is on the way, with multiple rounds of potentially beneficial rainfall beginning on Friday. Rain chances will decrease over the weekend, but hold steady around 30% for much of next week. So if you don't cash in on Friday's batch, isolated daily showers or storms should bring you something at some point in addition to cooler temperatures for most of us.
