**HOUSTON, TX –** A FOX 26 Storm Alert Day is in effect for Friday, with the National Weather Service issuing a Thunderstorm Watch until 8 p.m. for multiple counties including Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery. The region faces an enhanced risk of severe weather, meaning a very high probability of storms producing hail and damaging winds.
Forecasters predict heavy downpours, with over three inches of rain possible, increasing the risk of localized flooding. The most intense storms are expected from early afternoon through the evening. While a severe thunderstorm watch is likely, residents are urged to monitor weather alerts closely, as warnings will be issued for smaller areas when severe storms develop.
The weekend forecast predicts milder conditions, with lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s. However, another chance of storms is expected by Tuesday.
