HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Rain-cooled air that rushed through Houston Tuesday evening has stabilized the atmosphere enough to keep the threat of big storms away.
Scattered showers with isolated claps of thunder are still possible overnight and Wednesday, but we no longer expect any severe storms or flash flooding.
Flash Flood Watch canceled for most of our local counties. The only reason Polk and Trinity Counties remain is because of all the rain they got the last two days. We’ll be in good shape Wednesday with a few shower and cool north breeze from the front. https://t.co/kYz1z4P7gd pic.twitter.com/8eSZL3m3rH

You might even need a jacket Wednesday with a cool north breeze, extensive clouds, and below normal temperatures for May. Lows will bottom out in the mid 60s with highs in the mid 70s.
How cool will it get behind the front?
We’ll catch one or two afternoons in the 70s with another big drop in the humidity. Temperatures will dip as low as the upper 50s Thursday and Friday mornings, especially north of Houston.
What about the weekend?
The muggy air rushes right back in for the weekend. Rain chances will stay low on Saturday at just 30%, but they double to 60% Sunday as deep moisture moves overhead. The weather pattern Sunday through much of next week will favor slow-moving, heavy thunderstorms that could lead to street flooding. Several inches of rain are possible across the eastern half of Texas, so stay tuned.
