HOUSTON — The KHOU 11 Weather Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert for Friday, because of expected widespread downpours, heavy rain, and the potential for isolated flooding that could create problems on the roads.
The greatest concern will come during the afternoon hours Friday, though the alert remains in effect for the entire day as conditions are expected to stay unsettled. Rainfall intensity and duration will be key factors, with the potential for flooding increasing into Saturday if heavy rain persists.
A cold front will slowly move toward Southeast Texas. It’s expected to sag south of Houston before lifting back north early Friday. That shift, combined with a developing low-pressure system moving in from the west, is expected to increase rain chances and keep the atmosphere unstable.
The setup could lead to widespread showers and storms Friday afternoon, with additional rounds of rain possible into Saturday evening. The system is not expected to clear the area until at least Sunday.
Most of Southeast Texas is under a slight risk of flooding Friday, which is a level two out of four. You’ll want to monitor the forecast closely and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts as conditions evolve over the next several days.
What to expect day-by-day:
Thursday: Cooler temperatures in the mid-70s as the cold front moves through. A few isolated showers may linger, but conditions are generally calmer compared to Friday…
