Saturday’s Weather Outlook
- Morning: Light rain showers will occur near the coast beginning early Saturday without causing disruptions.
- Afternoon: The showers will move inland, possibly developing into thunderstorms by 2 PM. These diurnal storms flourish in the afternoon heat.
- Evening: By 5 PM, stronger storms with significant lightning and heavy rain may impact areas northeast of Houston, posing wind threats.
- Late Evening to Night: A cold front arrives, ushering storms from northwest to southeast starting around 9 PM in areas like Huntsville and Tomball. Houston should brace for these conditions around 11 PM, bringing rain, lightning, and strong winds.
Despite the cold front, temperatures aren’t expected to drop significantly. However, the storms will signal an early start to Sunday, as the front is forecasted to clear the coast by 2 AM.
