Houston weather: Warm day on the way for Friday, slight chance for storms

Friday will be a warm day with only a 10% chance of an afternoon shower or storm, mainly NW of Houston. Temperatures will soar to the 80s both Friday and Saturday ahead of a cold front. That front will bring in a round of showers and storms Saturday afternoon and evening. There's a low threat of an isolated severe storm Saturday with damaging winds and hail the main threats. Some heavy downpours may send you indoors for a few hours Saturday evening. But once that front moves by, we dry out and quickly clear out making way for a pleasant and bright Sunday. Next week looks pretty quiet with low rain chances back Tuesday. But the heat will be building to the middle 80s by Thursday.
