Cold front incoming: Storm timing, rain totals, and flood concerns for Houston

A storm system out west is gearing up to bring Southeast Texas another round of stormy weather this weekend.

Flood risk has decrease in coverage and is only focused north of I-10

This will bring a chance for some strong storms and low but not nothing flood threat Saturday night. The flood threat no longer includes Houston, it is now focused north of I-10.

As it moves closer, a cold front will slide into the area late Saturday afternoon into the early evening.

Ahead of that front, we’ll see warm, humid Gulf air fuel showers and thunderstorms.

Some of those storms could dump heavy rain in a hurry, as much as 1 to 3 inches per hour, which could lead to brief street flooding, especially in spots that don’t drain well in your neighborhood.

The good news is these storms should keep moving, so we’re not expecting widespread flooding. Still, areas north of I-10 could see a higher chance for isolated high water issues.

Northern parts of southeast Texas could pick up to 1.5″

A few showers may hang around early Sunday, but drier air will start to move in. Behind the front, expect a noticeable breeze out of the northeast, especially near the coast, where winds could get strong at times.

Cooler Sunday

The payoff will be a nice cool down on Sunday! Cloudy with a few leftover showers for the coast in the morning, but high pressure moving in with a northerly wind will slice the humidity back to more comfortable levels and highs only in the mid to low 70s.

Make sure to check back in with the KPRC2 Weather Team throughout the week for updates on the timing and intensity of these storms.
