FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Overall, the severe threat is lower than earlier today and should wind down by early tonight. Rounds of rain helped to limit heating and instability even though we had lots of spin in the atmosphere. But stay alert because there could still be an isolated strong to severe storm through early tonight. Wind gusts near 50-60 mph and heavy rain that could lead to flooding are the main threats. Tornado risk is only around 2-5%. We should briefly dry out overnight through much of Friday morning. But a cold front will likely stall near us Friday and that will help to kick off another round of showers and storms Friday afternoon. These storms are not expected to be severe. But some heavy downpours are once again possible. At least things calm down for the weekend with pleasant temperatures and only a slim chance for a shower Saturday.
