Let's keep mom dry! Here's when we'll have our highest rain chance this weekend

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Overnight we'll be tracking thunderstorms coming our way from North Texas, but the highest chance of rain over Mother's Day weekend is likely to occur as the weekend is ending.

How does it look for Mother's Day weekend?

We expect the rain chances Saturday to be highest in the first half of the day, especially near sunrise when the remnants of the North Texas storms reach us. Rain chances should stay fairly low during the afternoon and evening, but we cannot rule out additional shower and thunderstorm development. Temperatures will range from near 70 in the morning to the mid 80s in the afternoon. Mother's Day should be warm and humid with lows near 70 and highs in the upper 80s, but we are tracking another front that will blow in late in the day. There is only a 30% chance of showers and storms during the afternoon, then the rain chance will climb to 70% Sunday night when the cool front blows in. Some of those storms could severe and bring heavy rainfall.

What's the latest on drought conditions with all this rain?

We continue to see improvements! In fact, most of Houston and Harris County are now drought-free, and the intensity has lessened all across Southeast Texas. With more rain the forecast these next few days, we should see continued reductions in drought conditions across the region.

Is anymore rain expected next week?

Next week starts off fairly dry once the front clears early Monday morning. Rain chances will stay very low throughout the week with higher moisture levels not returning until next weekend.
