Houston will experience rain and possible thunderstorms on Saturday as a cold front moves through. The National Weather Service forecasts a 90% chance of rain during the day, with some heavy showers possible, and a 70% chance of rain in the evening.
KHOU has issued a Weather Impact Alert, saying, "The threat for severe weather conditions is low, but there could be minor street ponding. The roads will be wet and visibility could be low." Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected, with some areas receiving more. After Saturday, the weather will be drier early next week, with temperatures in the mid-80s and a brief decrease in humidity.
Houstonians should "Keep an umbrella handy for spotty showers Tuesday afternoon" and "be alert for heavier rain and possible street flooding Saturday," as reported by KHOU. Tropical Storm Melissa is near Jamaica and does not currently threaten the U.S., but people in the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, and Florida should monitor it.
