HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’re not done with the rain quite yet!

A weak cool front moving in from the north brings our next round of showers and thunderstorms Friday morning. Periods of heavy rain and storms could make for a messy and difficult drive for your morning commute.

As the front pushes south toward the coast this afternoon, it will be the focusing mechanism for some additional showers and storms. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 80s.

In the wake of the front, you can expect slightly drier air moving in for the start of your weekend.

Can you time out the scattered thunderstorms on Friday?

There could be two rounds of storms Friday. One during the morning rush ahead of the front. The other during the afternoon behind the front, most likely south of I-10. The rain shouldn’t be as widespread or intense as what we’ve seen this week.

Will it be just as hot with these rainy days?

Not necessarily! With rain and the inherent cloud cover we typically get during these rainy and stormy days, afternoon high temperatures for this week and into the first few days of June will likely be closer to their seasonal average, in the mid-to-upper 80s. The catch, though, is that if a shower or storm rolls through. While that will cool you off in the short term, it’ll also make it feel extremely muggy at times. We are also expecting mold counts to go up with the week during this unsettled and rainy stretch.

Hurricane season begins Sunday. What can we expect this season?

Hurricane season begins on June 1, and this year we are anticipating another active one. Both hurricane outlooks from NOAA and Colorado State University predict an above-normal season. From NOAA specifically, the prediction is 13 to 19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes, and possibly three to five major hurricanes. Two big reasons are the lack of an El Niño or La Niña and the trend of seeing warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures. And while these outlooks aren’t landfall forecasts for the United States, given these conditions, there is the possibility for storms to move into the Gulf this year.
