There will be a few rumbles of thunder with the chance of rain at 40%, with spotty and widely separated storms. Most of the area is likely to stay quiet Thursday morning, with a better chance for rain developing later in the day, although some neighborhoods could stay dry entirely. <\/p>\n<p>Hit and miss storms Thursday afternoon (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\">Thursday\u2019s street flooding threat is northwest of Houston. <\/p>\n<p>Flood Risk 1\/4 and does not include Houston.Friday\u2019s Forecast:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Houston can expect significant rainfall on Friday, with storms likely to bring widespread heavy rain and a higher threat of street flooding. Rainfall projections show totals ranging from around 1.5 to as much as 4 inches in some northern spots, with slightly lower amounts closer to the coast. The most intense activity is expected north of I-10, where the potential for street flooding will be higher thanks to the sheer intensity of the rain.<\/p>\n<p>The slight chance means street flooding is expected to be more than isolated (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\">The above slight threat means the flood threat is expected to be more than just isolated. Friday\u2019s rain comes in two waves, one in the morning and another with the cold front. The cold front moves through late Friday. <\/p>\n<p>The second wave of rain moves through Friday night (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\">This series of downpours will add to an already wet April, which saw just over 5 inches of rain, above average. And Friday\u2019s soaking will help further improve drought conditions around the region.<\/p>\n<p>Possible rain totals through Friday night (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)A cool and breezy Saturday with a near perfect Sunday:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Once Friday\u2019s storms clear, things change in a hurry. A cold front is forecast to sweep through Friday night, ushering in noticeably cooler and breezy weather Saturday. Highs to start the weekend are expected to reach 68\u00b0 with lows dipping into the 50s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Sunday climbs to the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies. <\/p>\n<p>What to expect through Saturday of next week (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\">Have you captured a dramatic rain photo or video?
