Timeline: When to expect the heaviest rain, storms in Houston
FRIDAY AM: Expect heavy rain now through 11 a.m. Thunder and rain started entering the downtown area just before 4 a.m. with stronger storms from Cypress, Houston’s west side down through Sugar Land, Rosenberg and into West Columbia. Expect slippery roadways and thunderstorms. A Flash Flood Watch is still in effect for the entire Houston area.
FRIDAY PM: Rain chances decrease a little as we head into the late afternoon and evening hours on Friday, but scattered showers are still possible overnight into Saturday. The rain this afternoon will not be as heavy and widespread as it was Friday morning.

SATURDAY: 70% rain chance with temps in the 70s. We’re looking at continuing widespread showers. While it may not be as heavy as Friday morning’s rainfall, now is when we will want to keep an eye out for more ponding on the roadways and isolated high water spots as the grounds will be very saturated by this point.
SUNDAY: 50% chance of showers, mostly in the morning. The rain will let up by the afternoon, but we won’t see much sunshine, if any.
NEXT WEEK: We’ll finally start to see some sunshine come Monday as temps heat up to about 90 degrees.
