Rain starts moving in tonight:
Showers continue to march from west to east tonight. If you are going to Galveston for Mardi Gras events tonight, there may be a few showers. It won’t be heavy but will be inconvenient. Temperatures remain mild despite the increase in cloud cover. Strong storms arrive overnight.
First round of storms tonight:
The first round of heavy rain and potentially severe weather sets up west of Houston around 11 pm. This will continue to swing east through the overnight.
Saturday morning storms:
The heaviest rain and strongest thunderstorms move through SE Texas early Saturday morning. Rain totals range from 1″-4″ and because of our saturated grounds we are susceptible to more flooding. Areas that flooded last week need to pay close attention Saturday morning to see how you are holding up. All of us also have a severe weather threat. Damaging winds and a tornado or two forming are the main threats. By late morning all the storms move east. The rest of the weekend is dry, mostly sunny and breezy.
10-Day forecast:
Because the cold front Saturday is from the Pacific, the drop in temperatures next week is slight. Our next chance of rain is Friday of next week.
