Tornado warning: Harris, Montgomery, Liberty counties until 5 p.m.

HOUSTON — A Tornado Warning remains in effect for Liberty County until 4:45 p.m.

The earlier warnings for Harris and Montgomery counties have been allowed to expire.

The National Weather Service reports severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes moving northeast of Houston.

KHOU 11 Meteorologist Tim Pandajis said they are radar-indicated and nothing has been spotted on the ground. He said the storms could also produce small hail.

If you’re in the path of a tornado, you should seek shelter in an interior room, take cover and stay away from doors and windows.

LOCAL FORECAST: Storms possible all weekend

• Saturday: While parts of Houston have seen intermittent showers, areas to the northeast have been getting inundated with heavy rain. Pandajis reported radar estimates of nearly 5 inches in some spots by 1:15 p.m.

Temperatures will stay warm for the weekend with high humidity —  a dramatic difference from Friday when highs were in the 50s.

• Sunday: A few overnight storms could produce about an inch of rain. The more active severe threat moves in between 2:30 and 6:30 a.m. After that, the overall trend for Sunday will be less rain as a new cold front moves through. The rain should move offshore by 2 p.m.

The main severe threat will be for periods of strong wind and localized heavy rain. There is also a marginal risk to see a spin up by way of a waterspout, and brief tornado or two.

A few spotty showers could linger in the Houston Metro for the Texans tailgate. What else will linger? The warmth! Temps hover in the mid 70s most afternoon. The record stands at 80 degrees so likely in the clear but still not very winter-like temps.
