Thursday we\u2019ll warm into the upper-80s, and it will feel more humid. Friday is similar. <\/p>\n<p>Cold front moves in Saturday night (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Tracking a cold front Saturday:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">You\u2019ll want to make sure you can plan around Saturday night. Saturday night is shaping up to be wet, stormy, and potentially problematic for anyone out and about. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Storms and heavy rain start firing up by late afternoon, and last through the night. The biggest concern? Street flooding. The risk zone now stretches across all of Houston, including the Beltway and out toward Pearland, with low-lying and flood-prone areas most at risk for rapid water buildup. If you have plans for Saturday afternoon or night, keep an eye on those weather alerts and watch the roads, especially where flooding has happened in the past. <\/p>\n<p>Heavy rain in Houston (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Weekend impacts:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Saturday\u2019s active weather could put a damper on two big Houston events. For athletes and volunteers heading to The Woodlands early Saturday for Ironman Texas, temperatures start out in the 70s and it will be warm and humid for a big endurance race. By afternoon, the chance of storms climbs to 30%, and by 6 p.m. it\u2019s up to 60%, right as many racers are finishing. Race officials and athletes should stay alert, since the stormy weather and gusty winds could bring safety concerns near the end of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Here is Saturday&#8217;s forecast (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Fleet Week is also set for some potentially rough weather on Saturday, as events coincide with the rain and storms. The good news: Sunday\u2019s forecast is all about improvement, with sunny skies, drier air, and much lower temperatures, making for a perfect day outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is more than 10\u00b0 lower than Saturday (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Sunday and beyond:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">After the storms move through Saturday night, expect quick, dramatic changes. By Sunday morning, only some lingering light rain is expected along the coastline, but most of the region will dry out fast. Temperatures will drop more than ten degrees and humidity will fall sharply, mornings early next week could even feel a little brisk, with lows in the 50s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Don\u2019t put the umbrellas away just yet, the extended forecast shows more rain and storm chances possible Tuesday and Wednesday, and maybe even another round next weekend. If it pans out, that will make it four weekends in a row of stormy weather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Have storm or flood photos from your neighborhood?
