Daily chance for storms late-week

Beginning Thursday and continuing Friday and Saturday, conditions will be favorable for a daily wave of storms.

There could be a few strong/heavy ones as well, so make sure to stay weather-aware and check in for updates on our FOX LOCAL app.

The highest chance for severe weather will be north of the Houston area, but don't let your guard down here.

Storm chances get much lower for the second half of the weekend and for Monday before they start to ramp up again by the middle of next week.  Make sure to take advantage of the dry time before storms start to increase again.
