HOUSTON – A cold front is forecasted to move through the Houston area Friday, and it could bring heavy rainfall to some neighborhoods.

The timing of the heaviest rain has shifted from Friday afternoon to later Friday evening, which means many of you may already be off the roads during the height of our flood threat.

But it’s always a good idea to be prepared.

If you have to be out on the roads Friday afternoon or evening, make sure you have these items with you in the event your car stalls out.

And don’t forget to bookmark our exclusive KPRC 2 Flood Tracker to stay on top of conditions where you are.
