A few downpours possible through early Friday night

Overall, rain and storm activity will be less widespread than the last few days. But a few late-day storms are possible, especially north and west of the Houston area. 

Warming trend kicks in

Average highs for this time of the year are in the low 80s, but our actual afternoon temperatures will stay above average by about 5-7 degrees this weekend through at least Tuesday with only isolated showers.

Remember that the sunshine and UV levels are higher this time of the year, so protect yourself not only from the heat, but the sun as well.

Grass pollen season

For late April, we are past the height of oak pollen season, but levels are still considered moderate. However, as temperatures get hotter, grass pollen is on the rise and will likely remain in an elevated category through the weekend.
