Light showers peppered the region Friday morning but are expected to stop in the early afternoon, according toThis reprieve is not long-lasting, as strong thunderstorms could push into most of the central and northern Houston area between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and persist until midnight. The National Weather Service included portions of the I-45 corridor and the Houston area in the slight risk area, cautioning residents that hail may be the primary hazard on Friday. Meteorologists added that damaging winds and isolated tornadoes could not be ruled out. Another opportunity to dry out could come on Saturday during the early morning hours.
