Storms Roll Through: Sporadic Showers Anticipated Before Tonight’s Second Wave
Houston experienced a series of storms early this morning, bringing thunder, lightning, and significant rainfall. The first wave of severe weather passed through the city, leaving about 5 percent of residents without power. The rainfall measured between 0.5 to 2 inches.
Weather Outlook for Saturday
As the storm front moves east, Houston can expect calmer conditions for much of the day. Scattered showers may continue, but skies are anticipated to clear by late morning, with temperatures reaching the 70s.
Fall Day Event
Residents are encouraged to visit the Fall Day celebration at Midtown Park from 10 am to noon. While most weather conditions should be favorable, organizers are prepared for the possibility of light rain. Activities for families are planned, and exclusive 10th anniversary t-shirts will be available for purchase. Unfortunately, complimentary tote bags will be delayed until Monday.
Evening Weather Developments
Later Saturday, a new line of storms is expected to emerge, potentially impacting evening plans. The system may develop near College Station and is forecasted to reach the greater Houston area between 8 pm and midnight.
