Heavy rain overnight and early this morning produced widespread 1-2" totals with isolated amounts close to 2.5". This is just enough to raise the threat for street flooding, especially as more rain moves in through the day.

Hail was reported from Sugar Land to Pearland between 11:30 p.m. last night and 12:30 a.m. this morning. More hail is possible today as two more three additional waves of rain pass through from west to east.

The weather will clear out overnight leaving behind a beautiful, cooler and dry weekend.
