**Houston Braces for Flooding as Scattered Showers Continue**

**HOUSTON** – Southeast Texas residents should prepare for more scattered showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow, with the highest chances occurring in the afternoon and evening. A Flood Advisory is currently in effect for Harris County until 5 PM, while the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker, Chambers, Liberty, and Houston counties, lasting until Monday morning.

“Keep an umbrella handy, especially in the afternoon,” advises KPRC 2 Meteorologist Brittany Begley. “While not everyone will see rain, it’s wise to watch the skies as the day heats up.”

Rain chances stand at 40% today, decreasing to 30% on Friday and 20% on Saturday. Most storms are expected to be brief.

The weather pattern will shift after Friday, with high pressure moving westward, bringing hotter and drier conditions through the end of June. Despite this, it is important to be prepared for Hurricane season.

While no active tropical development is anticipated in the next 7 days, a plume of Saharan dust is expected to reach Southeast Texas on Sunday and Monday, potentially reducing air quality.

Meteorologists are reminding residents that the Atlantic hurricane season lasts through November, peaking in Southeast Texas in September.

“Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season,” added Meteorologist Daji Aswad.

Temperatures remain slightly cooler than average, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Rain chances are expected to decrease over the weekend, just in time for the Houston Pride Parade.
