A series of disturbances are expected to bring rounds of showers and thunderstorms on Friday & Saturday as a cold front stalls out over SE Texas. The first round of storms is expected to develop during the early morning hours of Friday, with a brief lull during the late morning/early afternoon, then later a second round of storms developing during the late afternoon/evening on Friday. The threat of severe weather will be present throughout the day, but will be greatest during the late afternoon/evening hours on Friday. SPC currently has areas west and northwest of Harris County under a Slight (level 2/5) Risk of severe weather on Friday, with the rest of the region under a Marginal (level 1/5) Risk. All severe hazards will be possible, but large hail and strong gusty winds will be the main threats. There is a chance that these storms could produce significant hail upwards of 2" or more in the Slight Risk area. 

With the aforementioned stalled cold front, locally heavy rainfall will also be possible with these storms. WPC still has a Slight (level 2/4) Risk for Excessive Rainfall for areas north of I-10 on Friday, with a Marginal (level 1/4) Risk in effect for the rest of the region. On Saturday, the southern two-thirds of SE Texas will be under a Slight (level 2/4) Risk of Excessive Rainfall. A Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall continues on Sunday for areas mostly south of I-10.
