Stormy weekend forecast
Stormy weekend forecast
Stormy weekend forecast Here comes the rain we so desperately need! 🩵 1-4 inches possible Friday afternoon thru Sunday morning with some areas seeing less & some seeing more! (Isolated areas could see up to 4-6") ................................ From Space City Weather - Houston to face widespread rain showers this weekend, followed by a stronger front next week. Eric Berger · Wednesday, October 22, 2025 6:59 AM In brief:
*In today's post we discuss rainfall amounts for this weekend & when we are likely to see our greatest totals in a quite some time. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY - *We should see some sunshine on Friday morning but clouds will start to build later in the day, with highs in the 70s.
*An upper-level low pressure system and an accompanying front at the surface will advance toward the area, and overall dynamics support the development of showers and thunderstorms to go along with it. ➡️ The timing is our real point of uncertainty...... ⛈️ Generally what I expect is scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday afternoon & night (highs in the 80s on Friday).
⛈️ At some point, a line of thunderstorms will push through the area along with the surface front; whether that happens earlier Saturday or later in the day, we just don't know yet.
⛈️ At some point, we're going to see moderate to heavy rainfall.
⛈️ Although totals will vary widely, most of the region should pick up 1 to 4 inches. ⏰️ We hope to have better details about all of this for you in tomorrow's forecast update when we begin to have improved high resolution data. 
SUNDAY - *Rain chances won't go away during the second half of the weekend, but they should be decidedly lower than Saturday.
*Expect a high near 80 degrees with overnight lows in the 60s. NEXT WEEK - *The first half of next week will probably see highs in the low to mid 80s with muggier air before a stronger front arrives (Wednesday, maybe?)
*The details of this are still pretty fuzzy but we can almost assuredly expect to see some MUCH drier and colder air.

StormChaser : Thanks for the update and thank God we have rain at least forecasted! We don't need storms tho.
We don't need storms tho.
Kittle : True. As of right now, it doesn't look particularly severe so that's good.
StormChaser : Thanks for the information. I do hope we get some rain this weekend. Hopefully not when I'm going to the store 🤣🤣
A storm system is set to bring much needed rain to SE TX, with a marginal to slight risk of excessive rainfall Friday through Sunday. Generally 1-2" of rain expected Fri/Fri PM and 2-4" for Sat/Sat PM. Locally higher amounts will be possible. Stay tuned to the forecast!

Thursday post by SCW: Today's post discusses the rounds of rain (some heavy) that will come to Houston this weekend, likely bringing us much needed relief from an emerging drought Thursday - *Today will be our last day with near-zero rain chances until next week, although we cannot rule out a few isolated showers this afternoon.
*Skies will be mostly sunny, but with winds turning more east-southeast, we will see humidity levels rise from what we experienced on Wednesday.
*Expect highs in the mid to upper-80s.
*A few far inland areas may push upward toward 90 degrees, and I'm going to be a little risky here and predict this is our last chance to hit that mark in the year 2025.
*Lows tonight will be warmer, only falling to around 70 degrees. Friday - *Friday will likely see mostly sunny skies to start, but then with building clouds during the afternoon.
*Highs will be in the mid-80s with plenty of humidity.
*Rain chances will increase during the afternoon and evening hours, but overall I still expect this activity to be fairly scattered.
*So if your plans include Friday Night Lights, the games may well get played. By Friday night we'll want to keep an eye on conditions to our west.
*We expect a line of storms to form near the I-35 corridor in Central Texas around midnight, and then advance toward the Houston region overnight. Saturday - ➡️The squall line mentioned above will probably-and bear in mind there remains uncertainty in this timing-push through the Houston metro area around dawn, perhaps in the 6 am to 9 am time frame.
➡️Some of these storms could be severe, with the threat of hail but overall severe storms appear to be less of a threat than heavy rainfall.
*We need the rain, and it could come in bunches. We expect this line to move through and then to (maybe) be followed by a brief lull in activity during the late morning and early afternoon hours.
*The front itself should drive another round of showers later on Saturday or Saturday night. 
➡️All told we think the majority of the region will pick up 2 to 4 inches of rainfall but higher local amounts will be possible.
➡️Since our soils are so dry they should be able to absorb much of this rainfall, so flooding is not a major concern at this time but we'll be watching closely.
*Temperatures on Saturday should be in the 70s for the most part. 
Sunday - *Rain chances will be lower (but non-zero) on Sunday.
*Expect highs in the lower 80s with mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.
*Lows on Sunday night will drop into the 60s with a bit of drier air.

StormChaser : I'm rooting for 4 inches however, slowly.
StormChaser : We could really use some rain. Sprinklers just aren't as good as rain.
Update: Slight risk area has been expanded for Saturday. Gusty winds, frequent lightning and hail are all possible, especially Saturday morning. 
2-4" expected with pockets of 4-6" 
Future radar Saturday @ 6am
