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

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We're off to a warm and mostly dry start to the weekend, and while it's far from a washout, we do have chances for rain today and tomorrow.

How does it look for Mother's Day weekend?

More dry than wet! We will have to keep an eye on radar for some scattered showers and storms this afternoon, but I'm keeping the overall coverage at no more than 40%. Temperatures are climbing into the mid 80s this afternoon, with plenty of humidity to go along with it. 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 20% 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.
