HOUSTON – After a very soggy Thursday morning, Houston is seeing a temporary reprieve from the heavy rainfall that spread across the area.
There was a threat for some severe weather, mainly in the form of hail, with the early storms Thursday. Thankfully, the hail threat never quite materialized the way it could have with the early storms.

Don’t be fooled though, there is still a chance for some severe weather and more heavy rainfall with another cluster of storms forecasted to come through the area late tonight and into early Friday morning.
Aside from overnight, there are still a few stronger storms in the area.
Overnight storms
Another cluster of storms is forecasted to develop over the Texas Hill Country before moving east into the Houston area. Computer models have been in agreement with this scenario since last night and continues to show this cluster Thursday afternoon. Storms should begin to move into the Houston area between 11 p.m. Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday.
While the risk for severe weather has decreased thanks to a more stable atmosphere, there is still a marginal risk for isolated instances of large hail and damaging winds with this cluster of storms forecasted to move through overnight. Either way, you can expect more heavy rainfall and some gusty winds to accompany this cluster of storms.
