\"Houston <\/p>\n

HOUSTON – Houston has been placed under a higher 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms Saturday.<\/p>\n

FOX 26 Storm Alert <\/p>\n

It feels more like April than February. Spring-like temperatures will help set the stage for strong to severe storms and heavy rain Saturday as a strong system rolls in.<\/p>\n

Main window for the strongest storms appears to be 8pm Saturday until 2am Sunday. Damaging wind gusts near 60-70 mph will be the main threat although an isolated, brief tornado and some hail can’t be ruled out.<\/p>\n

Impacts on Valentine’s, Mardi Gras plans <\/p>\n

There will be a high chance for showers much of Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon for Mardi Gras in Galveston and Valentine’s plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The threat for storms increases Saturday night, especially between 8 PM and midnight for Houston and 10 PM and 2 AM for Galveston.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mardi Gras parades, concerts and parties could be impacted.\u00a0 So plan on delays and make sure to have a way to get alerts in case you need to get inside quickly.<\/p>\n

Crisp, clear afterward <\/p>\n

Behind the front, cooler and much drier air settles in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Expect crisp mornings and clear, pleasant afternoons beginning Sunday and carrying into early next week \u2014 a refreshing return to more comfortable conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But plan on the more intense heat returning as we climb to the middle 80s by Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
