Calm, quiet, and windy with temps in the 70s Thursday evening

It looks like the weather will be quite messy for much of Friday leading up to World Series Game 1 with the first pitch at 7:03 p.m. at Minute Maid Park. Rain will build in by early Friday morning with the heaviest rain expected from 10 a.m. until around 4 p.m. This is the time a few storms could be severe with the biggest threat in our southwest communities. An isolated tornado, hail, flooding, and damaging wind gusts will all be possible so stay alert! Heavy rain should taper off close to the first pitch time but scattered showers will likely still be around. We should dry out and clear out over the weekend with pleasant and dry weather expected for Halloween. A few showers return to the area by next Tuesday.
