We are under a FOX 26 storm alert through Friday night. Expect rounds of heavy rain that could lead to some flooded streets with the best chance west and northwest of Houston. Places like College Station, Brenham, Sealy and Columbus will likely be the hardest hit over the next 24 hours. Walker, Grimes, Montgomery, Waller, Harris, Wharton, Fort Bend &amp; Jackson counties have been added to a Flood Watch until 7 PM Friday.\u00a0 Please remember to avoid any flooded areas while walking or driving.<\/p>\n<p>   RAIN SHIFTS EAST <\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Thursday\u2019s main heavy rain threat has remained west of Houston, while a chance for locally heavy rain continues across our area Friday. By Saturday and Sunday, the focus shifts toward the coast and areas east of Houston as the unsettled pattern continues.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/slot3-172.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" width=\"932\" height=\"524\" data-v-2fe2fe3e=\"\"\/>  SLIGHT TASTE OF FALL COMING <\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">A slight taste of fall is expected to come into the SE Texas area next week.\u00a0 In fact, expect high temperatures to remain a little below the norm in the middle 80s, and many spots will dip to the 60s by Monday night. It&#8217;s not a huge drop in temperatures, but at least we are no longer near triple digits.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/slot3-137.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" width=\"932\" height=\"524\" data-v-2fe2fe3e=\"\"\/>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"group-source-paragraph\" data-v-4fbf7207=\"\">The Source: Information from Your Gulf Coast Weather Authority Team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/weather\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Weather<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/us\/tx\/houston\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Houston<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/news\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/top-stories\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Top Stories<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FOX 26 STORM ALERT AND FLOOD WATCH HOUSTON &#8211; The risk for flooding across Houston and surrounding cities&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,223,2053,216,393,172],"class_list":["post-453803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-tx","tag-us","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
