Houston weather: Slim rain chances the rest of Wednesday

Alright, you may not be very happy about what's been going on with our weather so far this week. It's been gloomy, it's been dreary, it's been pretty wet out there and stormy at times. In fact, I've got the radar going back over the last 24 hours and there's been a lot of rain. In fact, many of you picked up anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain over the last 1 to 2 days. And just north of Wharton, you can see that close to 4 inch total. But for Houston, closer to 1 to 2 inches. Sugar Land, same deal for you. Pear Land, 1 to 1.5 inches of rain. The majority of that rain has come to an end. Now, if we could just get rid of all these thick clouds, we'd be good. But the overcast skies are sticking around. But other than a sprinkle or two this evening and tonight, I don't anticipate much in the way of rain. We need a break. 73 degrees right now, so it is pleasant for our Veterans Day late afternoon, early evening. We've got dew points in the low 60s, so it's still kind of muggy out there. But overall, Compared to what we've been through with our weather the last 24 hours, we really can't complain. Most of you in the low to middle 70s. Of course, if you do have any plans for early tonight as we continue our Veterans Day, we are going to have fairly quiet weather. 67 degrees around 7 o'clock, mostly cloudy. I think a few of those clouds will start to break up as we go through the night and temperatures will gradually dip back to the low 60s by 11 p.m. But no need for any major rain gear. Like I said, maybe a sprinkle, that's about it. Our attention now turning to the northwest. We've got another weak cold front dropping into the state. It's rolling across Dallas, getting closer to Austin, and it is going to push into our area overnight into early tomorrow. If you're wondering if it will bring another big round of rain, the answer is no. It should come through without much fanfare, mainly dry. It is going to bring us some nice, cool mornings, especially for Friday morning and Saturday morning. Temps likely dipping to the low 50s in Houston and maybe some 40s for you in Conroe and up towards Huntsville. Jumping into the weekend, we've got to talk about an even stronger front that's going to make its way through the area. This is Saturday evening, 7, 7, 15 p.m. There's the front near Albuquerque, and there's all the rain, the juicy air starting to push back into much of the state. And we're going to have a good chance for downpours again, I think, starting Saturday evening, Saturday night, and really increasing Sunday. Saturday morning all the way through Sunday evening. So this is close to 7 p.m. on Sunday. And you can see that big area of heavy rain and maybe some strong storms back over towards Navasota, Brenham, and Belleville. So plan on a drier start to the weekend. But once again, a wet and stormy finish. So make sure that you get your outdoor plans in when you can. If you need dry weather, you may want to try to get it in on Saturday. All right, next three afternoons looking pretty good. Thursday and Friday, great time to put up those holiday lights. We will start to see those showers starting to build in as we go into the second half of the weekend. In fact, I have increased that rain chance for Sunday to 70% and there could be a little flooding, so make sure you're careful.
