Friday’s conditions: isolated rain and unstable fronts
As we remain in the heart of Texas’s severe weather season, Friday, May 30, brought scattered showers and isolated storms, mainly along or south of the I-10 corridor, with additional rain chances north of the Houston metro area in the afternoon.
A weak cold front moved through the region, bringing brief but heavy downpours, small hail, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. A few more thunderstorms could develop later Friday afternoon and evening near the trailing edge of the front.
Rising temperatures ahead: summer-like weekend coming
Highs on Friday are expected to reach near 90°F (32°C). For the weekend, temperatures will climb into the low 90s (33–34°C) with lower rain chances overall.
Saturday brings just a 10% chance of rain, while Sunday sees that chance increase to 30%, though the overall weather pattern looks more stable and less severe than earlier in the week.
The weather is shifting toward a typical early summer pattern in Texas, hot and mostly calm, with only limited storm activity expected.
