Warm, humid Friday with spotty storms
The rest of Friday features warm and humid conditions with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s. Feels like temperatures are close to 90.
Isolated to spotty afternoon and evening thunderstorms are possible. Flood risk for Friday is low. However, watch out for any ponding of water or potential street flooding in any heavier storms that form.
Flooding concerns increase this weekend
Rain chances stay elevated through Memorial Day weekend with repeated rounds of storms possible across the region.
Models are indicating a big round of heavy rain Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning.
Flooding concerns will likely increase, especially when an upper-level area of low pressure develops in north Texas. That will place Houston in a favorable environment for heavier rain.
We have already been placed at a level 2 out of 4 risk for street flooding both Saturday and Sunday. Southeast Texas is also under a 1 out of 5 risk for a few strong storms on Saturday. The main risks would be gusts near 60 miles per hour and some hail near quarter size.
Look for some showers on Memorial Day but less coverage than the 2 previous days.
