The real action could arrive by Friday afternoon and evening with a line of slow-moving heavy storms possible. Friday is a Fox 26 Storm Alert Day to give you a heads up that impactful weather is on the way. Biggest risk will likely be the threat for some flooded streets.

Calmer weather follows a weak cold front

Our skies should gradually clear on Saturday as drier air moves in from the north. By Sunday and Monday mornings, lows are expected to drop into the low 60s, so that will be refreshing.  Afternoon temperatures will climb to the middle 80s.

Storms return next week

A rather intense jet stream disturbance will move over Texas around Tuesday through Thursday of next week, so storms look likely again. It's too early to talk about locations or rain amounts, but just keep in mind that other than Sunday and Monday, the weather will stay "unsettled."
