Friday afternoon weather forecast with Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz

Lots to talk about with today's forecast and with an active pattern in the extended rainfall outlook. For today, another round of heavy rain appears likely. Due to yesterday's widespread 2-4" of rain, the ground is saturated, so flooding could occur more easily as heavy storms pop up. Look for isolated heavy downpours in the morning with more widespread activity from late morning through early afternoon. localized amounts of 3" will be possible again with some high winds and, once again, lots of lightning. For the weekend, expect off-and-on showers and storms as we watch the progress of what should be a small area of low pressure in the southern Gulf. The extended outlook still looks active with several rounds of drought-busting rain across Texas.
