Friday’s forecast:
Friday will bring another round of spotty showers, this time they could reach Houston. Widespread rain isn’t expected until Saturday when the cold front arrives. That’s the period to watch, as the heaviest rain and strongest thunderstorms are likely in the evening hours.
Easter weekend forecast:
A cold front moves through SE Texas Saturday afternoon and night. The heaviest rain is expected in Houston around 5pm.
There is a street flooding threat for all of southeast Texas Saturday and risk a low risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. The strongest storms could produce hail and strong winds. Tornado threat is non existent for Houston, the best chance for a spin up will be north across Madison, Walker, Trinity, Polk and San Jacinto counties.
The good news is that it looks like almost all the rain is out by Easter sunrise service time. There may be some light rain along the coast, but the rest of the area will stay damp and noticeably cooler in the low to mid 60s.
Sunday evening showers return mainly near the coast. By Sunday night, waves of rain move through all of SE Texas. It doesn’t look extremely heavy, just steady.
Whatever your plans are Sunday, make sure you dress for the cool. Temperatures range from the 50s in the morning to 60s in the afternoon with a strong north wind. And with the clouds it will feel colder than the actual temperature.
Extended forecast:
Look at the difference in temperatures from Saturday to Sunday. A big cool down with morning temps in the 50s and highs in the 70s early next week. I hope you have a wonderful Easter.
