Timeline: When to expect the heaviest rain, storms in Houston
FRIDAY AM: Expect heavy rain now through 10 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 now 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.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: We’re looking at continuing widespread showers with a 60% rain chance. While it may not be as heavy as Friday morning’s rainfall, now is when we will want to keep an eye out for ponding on the roadways and isolated high water spots as the grounds will be very saturated by this point. It’s too soon to know for sure or know which areas will be the most impacted by flooding, if any.
NEXT WEEK: Light scattered showers continue Monday and Tuesday — we won’t have a really nice, sunny day again until Wednesday.
