An earlier tornado warning for Eagle Lake, Altair, Hempstead and Prairie View areas has now expired. Possible tornado damage has been reported near La Grange in Fayette County.

The primary hazard as these storms push through Southeast Texas Friday into Saturday morning will be damaging winds, large hail and an isolated tornado. Heavy rain is also likely in areas.

Most 24-hour rain totals should be between 1 to 3 inches with isolated amounts up to 4. If that happens in a quick period of time there could be a few high water spots by late tonight or early tomorrow morning. View the complete weather timeline at the bottom of this article.

KHOU 11 Meteorologist Chita Craft says our chance for rain and thunderstorms ramps up late Friday and again early Saturday morning thanks to a weak front pushing through Texas.

Chita says most areas will see up an inch of rain, but isolated downpours could get up to four inches.

If you’re out late, watch out for street ponding.

Here are the details…
