Houston is expected to experience severe weather on Saturday, with a strong front bringing large hail, winds over 50 mph, and the possibility of an isolated tornado. Most of Southeast Texas is under a 2 out of 5 risk for severe conditions. The clash of cooler and warm air may cause powerful thunderstorms. While the flood risk is low, heavy rain could cause localized flooding in areas with saturated soil, as reported by Click2Houston.

Houston will experience intermittent showers and thunderstorms today, primarily before 4 pm, with temperatures reaching around 82°F and south winds up to 20 mph. New rainfall could total between half and three quarters of an inch, with an 80% chance of precipitation. Tonight, as the front moves through, the likelihood of showers drops to 30%, and temperatures will cool to around 50°F. On Sunday, expect cooler than usual conditions, with a 30% chance of early morning showers, followed by partly sunny skies and highs near 60°F, according to the National Weather Service.

After the weekend's stormy weather, Houstonians can expect clear skies and rising temperatures, with highs reaching around 83°F by Thursday. This shift is due to a high-pressure system moving in following the departure of the front. Residents can stay updated on the full 10-day forecast through local weather reports as conditions continue to improve.
