HOUSTON — We are starting chilly this morning- yet still 10 degrees warmer compared to yesterday. Expect an abundance of sunshine today. That sunshine will allow temperatures to turn a bit warmer, albeit still below normal. Highs should climb into the low and mid 60s, making for one of the nicest days of the week.
Wednesday will feature increasing clouds ahead of our next system which will arrive on Thursday. Showers and storms are possible as a cold front approaches from West Texas. No severe threat has been outlined for our area yet, but a few strong to severe storms are possible across East Texas.
Either way, some heavy downpours will deliver some much-needed rainfall across the area. Rain totals by Friday could average around 2 inches, with locally higher amounts. Right now flooding looks unlikely, but ponding is possible on some roadways.
Unfortunately, this front will stall offshore for the weekend. As a result, clouds and shower chances will stick around for Saturday and Sunday. Right now though, the heaviest of the rain looks to stay to our south and east.
