Friday forecast

Friday forecast First off - What an intense storm last night! And we were several miles north of the squall line! Yes, we had a chance for some showers & storms (~20/30%) but THAT certainly wasn't expected. Some areas inside the beltway received just short of 5" of rain in less than 60 minutes so flash flooding was occurring and the storms just would NOT let up. I'm just thankful the line stayed south of us. My weather station got bumped offline by the lightning so I don't even know exact rainfall totals but it was over 2" that fell. Quickly. Y'all know I live & breathe weather. I just had a really awful day yesterday so these totally blindsided me. Sorry about that guys. ❤️ ........... Friday & weekend forecast From Space City Weather: A couple more shower chances before Houston's first taste of summer next week. Matt Lanza · Friday, May 9, 2025 8:08 AM Overnight storms: So, yes, last night we had a few hours of storms right across the middle of Houston. Many of you missed out, but many of you participated. Thankfully, they were not severe, but they certainly had some noise - and rain. The big winner was the area between the Med Center and UH, where a max total of nearly 4 inches occurred. A secondary maximum was just west of Sheldon; rain rates were on the order of 2 to 4 inches an hour. They were some hefty downpours. Some pockets north and west of downtown also saw around an inch or so, but for the most part it was that corridor that got soaked. Today *We have one last little broken line of showers rolling through the area now. *Some heavier downpours are occurring southeast of the city across Brazoria County. *These will exit over the next couple hours, giving us a quiet middle of the day. *With any sunshine will come some additional showers and perhaps storms today. The best odds of showers later today will probably be north of I-10, probably across Montgomery, Walker, Liberty, and San Jacinto Counties. *With low pressure in the upper atmosphere over Louisiana, these showers will basically drop north to south. Saturday *It looks like one little disturbance in the upper atmosphere is going to pivot around the upper low in Louisiana tomorrow, so I think our odds of scattered showers or thunderstorms actually may go up a bit, relative to this afternoon. *These would probably pop up in the late afternoon and evening hours; just have an umbrella handy for any Saturday evening plans. *Look for highs in the upper-70s to near 80 degrees. Mother's Day *Drier air is going to begin pushing into the area on Sunday. *I don't want to completely take a rain chance out, especially east of I-45, but any showers on Sunday should be fleeting. *Overall, any plans you've got should have minimal to no weather disruption with mostly sunshine otherwise. *Highs should top out near 80 or so on Sunday. Next week 🔥 Welp. There's almost always a week in May where it becomes apparent that the season is about to change. Next week should be that week. Monday looks great, with a cool morning, highs in the lower 80s and comfortable humidity. By Tuesday, we bounce into the upper-80s. Wednesday? Low-90s. Thursday we head into the mid-90s. To be honest, I would not be shocked if we end up in the upper-90s by Friday or Saturday. These will begin to approach record highs. The humidity should also transition back above normal later next week, probably making it feel a bit more uncomfortable. It should hopefully fall short of the intense heat and humidity we saw last May, but either way, brace yourselves, summer is coming.
