Houston-area weather forecast: Stormy morning possible, decreasing clouds in the afternoon

Models are showing more showers and storms around 4-6 AM and another possible round by 8-9 AM just ahead of the cold front. Severe risk tonight is highest in our northern counties at 2/5 with a 1/5 threat in the southern areas. Large hail, 60-70 MPH winds and heavy downpours will be the main threats. However, there is a 2-5% tornado threat as well so stay alert! We should dry out behind the front Thursday afternoon and evening. Friday looks bright and lovely but Saturday is trending wetter. Look for a decent shot for rain for a big chunk of Saturday, winding down early Sunday. Make sure to keep track of all the changing weather by downloading the FOX 26 Weather App on your phone!
