The Weather Prediction Center has placed all of Southeast Texas under a level 1 of 4 risk, or at least a 5% chance, of flooding Friday and Saturday.

A low pressure storm system is likely to move into the north-central region of the Gulf over the next few days. Forecasters expect the system, which could develop into a tropical cyclone, to produce scattered storms and thunderstorms.

Thursday in Houston will be hot again, but a plume of tropical moisture will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms beginning late Thursday along the coast and to our east. That rain will spread farther inland on Friday,
