The rest of Friday go be warm and humid, with afternoon highs for mid to upper 80s. Feels like temperature go near 90.
Isolated to spotty afternoon and evening thunderstorms fit happen, but flood risk for Friday na low. Still, watch out for ponding of water or street flooding for any heavy storm.
Models dey show a big round of heavy rain from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. That one go increase flooding concerns, especially as an upper-level low pressure area dey develop for north Texas.
Houston go dey for favorable environment for heavier rain, and authorities don place us at level 2 out of 4 risk for street flooding both Saturday and Sunday.
Southeast Texas also dey under 1 out of 5 risk for few strong storms on Saturday, with main risks being gusts near 60 miles per hour and some hail near quarter size.
Look for some showers on Memorial Day, but less coverage than the two previous days.
After hot Friday wey some areas see low 90s, conditions go trend milder, with highs near 82 Saturday, 81 Sunday, and 85 on Memorial Day.
The drop for temperature come as moisture increase across the region, setting stage for multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms.

By late afternoon and evening, rain go become more widespread, with pockets of heavy downpours possible across the region, from Beaumont to Houston and south toward the coast.
Primary concern na localized flooding. Multi-day flood watch dey effect through Memorial Day evening.
Not everybody go see flooding, but slow-moving storms fit drop significant rainfall over same areas for hours, raising risk of high water for low-lying or flood-prone neighborhoods.
Recent rainfall don add to the concern. Parts of Southeast Texas, especially south of Houston toward Brazoria County and the coast, don already get 1 to 5 inches of rain earlier this week, leaving ground saturated.
Additional downpours this weekend fit quickly lead to ponding on roads and isolated flash flooding, especially where storms stall.
Rainfall totals through Memorial Day dey expected to average 1 to 3 inches across the area, but localized pockets fit see significantly higher amounts.
Some areas from Matagorda Bay to Lake Charles, including Galveston and surrounding communities, fit get 3 to 5 inches, or even more for isolated spots, if storms repeatedly move over same locations.
Gusty winds also dey expected Saturday afternoon, especially near the coast, with speeds from 15 to 25 mph.
Saturday go get high near 82, mostly dry early, with scattered showers developing by early afternoon and becoming more widespread late in the day. Some storms fit produce heavy rain.
Sunday go get high near 81, with continued scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Ongoing risk for localized flooding, especially for saturated areas.
Memorial Day Monday go see high near 85, no formal weather alert, but scattered rain and storms remain likely, with some heavy downpours possible.
Tuesday go near 90 degrees with increasing coverage of scattered rain and thunderstorms. Late next week, rain chances remain elevated, with temperatures continuing to run cooler than normal for late May.
