Scattered showers & storms Saturday night, cooler & drier Sunday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A cold front made it to Houston Saturday evening and will pave the way for a cooler, breezy day Sunday. But up first, rounds of heavy rain that could lead to street flooding Saturday night.

The cold front has stalled over Houston and Harris County along the I-10 corridor Saturday evening. This is going to allow for rounds of showers and storms to develop along the front into the overnight hours until it pushes offshore early Sunday morning. The main concern will be localized street and area flooding, but isolated flash flooding cant be ruled out in spots that receive the heaviest downpours. Gusty winds and lightning are also potential hazards Saturday evening. And conditions will be much cooler behind this front with temperatures dropping into the low-mid 50s by Sunday morning.

There about a 20-30% chance for a few showers early Sunday morning around sunrise, but otherwise Sunday will be much drier, breezy and with lower humidity thanks to the cold front. Highs will climb into the low-mid 70s with some more sunshine expected during the second half of the day.

How cool will it get behind this front?

Temperatures should dip into below-average territory behind the front. We expect a couple of days with highs in the 70s and a few mornings with lows in the 50s. The average high this time of year is around 80, and the average low is around 60.

What's the outlook for next week?

Monday should be nice and dry for most of the day, but light showers could spread in from the west toward the evening. Monday night we expect that disturbance to blow in from the west, pushing rain chances to at least 40% for Tuesday. This disturbance could keep rain c Another storm system looks to impact us the final weekend of April, with thunderstorm chances climbing for next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
