Houston weather: Strong storms possible on Friday

A strong weather system arrives Friday and Friday night, bringing the best chance for showers and thunderstorms so far this year. Some storms could be briefly heavy, and strong winds are possible as the cold front moves through with an isolated strong storm possible ahead of the front midday and Friday afternoon. This marks a clear pattern shift heading into the weekend. Stay alert Friday afternoon and evening as we will be under a 1 out of 5 risk for severe storms including damaging winds and a very low 2% tornado risk.
