Rain totals this weekend on the increase. It looks like we'll see more in the order of 1-3" with isolated areas with heavier amounts, especially north. From Space City Weather Yep, It Looks Like Houston Will Get A Good Soaking This Weekend Eric Berger · Wednesday, March 13, 2024 7:16 AM Summary: Houston is now solidly back in a warmer pattern, and this will eventually lead to some rain showers. The forecast for this weekend, in particular, is trending wetter. At this point I'd ballpark 1 to 3 inches of rain for most, but there is a risk for higher totals. We'll be tracking it closely. THURSDAY This will be a similar day to Wednesday, albeit with even stronger wind gusts. I think we'll see gusts from the south at up to 30 or 35 mph. This strong southerly flow will be in response to a cold front that is moving into Central Texas. However, I don't think we'll see any storms Thursday due to a capping inversion that will prevent all of this warm air at the surface from rising too high in the atmosphere. In the unlikely event that the cap does break, we could see some thunderstorms. But probably not. Highs should again be in the low 80s with mostly cloudy skies. Thursday night will be warm again. FRIDAY The aforementioned front is likely to move closer to the Houston metro area on Friday, but stall out to our northwest. This leads to some uncertainty in the forecast, but I think there's a healthy chance of rain, perhaps 50 percent or higher, during the daytime. Accumulations are likely to be on the order of tenths of an inch, so nothing too significant, probably. Highs, otherwise, will be about 80 degrees. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY We've had some nice and sunny weekends of late. This will not be one of those. With plenty of moisture in place, and disturbances rotating through, the period of Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon looks rather wet. Most of the area is likely to pick up 1 to 3 inches, but there is a risk of higher end totals than this. Some models have been splashing accumulations of 4 or more inches, especially for areas along and north of Interstate 10. At this point I'm still not too concerned about flooding, but it's something we're going to keep a close eye on. In any case, if you have outdoor plans on Saturday or Saturday evening, bless your heart. They're at risk due to showers and thunderstorms. Highs this weekend will be in the 70s, with mostly cloudy skies. A front will finally shove all the way off the coast on Sunday, likely during the afternoon hours. This will bring an end to the rain and usher in some cooler and drier air. Lows on Sunday night will likely drop into the 50s. NEXT WEEK Highs are likely to fall into the 60s with at least partly sunny skies by Monday and Tuesday, with lows in the 40s and 50s. There will be a nice slug of drier air for a few days, but the moisture will return by around Wednesday. This will set the stage for warmer weather and it looks like we'll see some more rain by around Thursday-ish.

StormChaser : that's not good, DD is moving this weekend. Hopefully, the rain will hold off until the furniture is moved. Hope you have a great day!
We could really use some rain around here. I need about 1.75" to top off the pool. I hate paying CoH for water to fill the pool.
teatime : Ohio had multiple large violent tornados touch down this evening. I was watching on live stream - it's bad.
