HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston area is still dealing with a few showers and thunderstorms.

A line of thunderstorms fizzled Thursday morning, but we anticipate some areas getting scattered downpours Thursday afternoon and evening. High temperatures will warm in the mid to upper 80s.

We still have a cool front penciled in for Friday, and it will be a focus point for a line of showers and thunderstorms to form. That line is expected to taper off by Friday night into Saturday.

I hear it should be event stormier on Friday. Why?

We have a stormy cool front blowing in! This line of storms should be fairly solid and blow through during the afternoon. Because this will occur during the peak heating of the day, the atmosphere will again be extremely unstable, so the storms could produce severe hail and wind gusts. The rain should dwindle for the evening.

How does the weather look for the weekend?

We expect the front blowing in Friday’s storms will push just far enough into Southeast Texas to give most of us a pleasant humidity drop with lows in the mid 60s Saturday and low 60s Sunday. The front won’t completely clear Southeast Texas until Saturday afternoon, so there could still be some showers and thunderstorms southwest of Houston toward Matagorda Bay. High temperatures will warm into the low 80s, a little below average for the first week of May.
