Timeline: When to expect the heaviest rain, storms in Houston
FRIDAY EVENING: Widespread light rain most of the evening and overnight, but nothing that will cause flash flooding. Be careful on wet roads.
SATURDAY: Our next round of potentially heavy rain arrives before sunrise Saturday morning (4 a.m. – 9 a.m.). An additional 1″ to 3″ of rain is possible in the heavier downpours. After that, things should settle down with only slight rain chances through Saturday afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Another round of storms is expected to move across the area from west to east. Rainfall could be quite heavy, but this line of storms is forecast to be moving fairly quickly. Fingers are crossed that it will move through without causing too much trouble. However, we could see an additional 1″ to 3″ with this round and with saturated grounds in place, Flash Flooding will be a concern.
SUNDAY: A few lingering scattered showers through the morning. Then, improving conditions, maybe a peek of sunshine by late afternoon.
NEXT WEEK: We’ll finally start to see some sunshine come Monday as temps heat up to about 90 degrees.
We are 6+ inches behind in our rainfall. So all this rain will be beneficial in tamping down the expanding drought conditions across Southeast Texas.
