Stay alert for the potential for severe weather this evening and tonight, mainly between 7PM and Midnight. A few storms are expected to build in from the west and could produce some large hail and a few strong wind gusts along with heavy rain. We get a break for much of Wednesday before another line of storms is expected Wednesday night with more storms possible Thursday morning with a cold front. Severe risk for Houston tonight is a Category 1/5 but 2/5 threat is in place just west of Houston. Severe threat Wednesday night into Thursday is highest north of Houston with Houston again in a Category 1/5 threat. So stay alert and make sure you have a way to get warnings! FOX 26 Weather App on your phone is a great way to do that! Isolated showers and storms are possible with another front late Friday into early Saturday. Then we clear out for the rest of the weekend.
