Friday Night Storm Update: Timing and Impact on Excitable Dogs
Current Conditions
Friday evening will be generally quiet as isolated showers are expected only near Lake Jackson. Most areas will experience warm and humid conditions with temperatures in the 70s. No severe weather is anticipated until after midnight.
Early Saturday Storms
A powerful squall line is forecasted to move through the region overnight into Saturday morning. This line will deliver a mix of lightning, thunder, strong winds, and heavy rain. The most intense weather is projected to last approximately 30 minutes to one hour.
Expected Timing
- 1 AM – 3 AM CT: College Station
- 3 AM – 5 AM CT: From Katy to The Woodlands
- 4 AM – 6 AM CT: Central Houston
- 5 AM – 7 AM CT: Coastal areas
During these hours, residents should take precautions as rainfall may accumulate between 1 to 3 inches, potentially leading to flooding in low-lying areas. After sunrise, the storms are expected to move eastward, leaving scattered showers behind.
Post-Storm Conditions
Following the squall line, some clearing is anticipated later on Saturday morning. This coincides with El-Balad’s Fall Day event celebrating Space City Weather’s 10th anniversary at Midtown Park, Houston. The event runs from 10 AM to noon, and while a few scattered showers may persist, there will be adequate cover.
Afternoon and Evening Outlook
The forecast suggests calm weather conditions from late morning into the afternoon, aside from the possibility of sporadic showers. However, later on Saturday evening, another, albeit weaker, squall line may develop as a front approaches.
The timing remains uncertain, but storms could impact the College Station area in the evening and are expected to reach Houston between 10 PM and 2 AM. Residents with plans for Saturday night should stay informed by monitoring weather updates.
Looking Ahead
Weather conditions are set to improve on Sunday, with clearing skies expected after the Saturday night storms pass. El-Balad will provide further updates on this evolving weather situation tomorrow morning.
