Houston weather forecast: Increasing rain chances this weekend

Houston weather: Weekend rain chances

Within any storm that we see this weekend, it could drop a lot of rain in a short amount of time. There is a 1/4 risk for isolated street flooding across most of Southeast Texas.

HOUSTON - Rain chances will be increasing heading into the weekend.

Increasing rain late this week

The rest of Friday will bring more clouds and a chance for scattered evening storms, then we have a tricky weekend forecast. 

A cold front will approach, then stall, and it's a challenge as to how close to Houston the front will stall. 

For now, count on muggy air and a good chance for showers and a few storms this weekend.
