Houston, Texas – Drivers and residents in Houston should brace for scattered thunderstorms Sunday, August 24, with travel delays possible on I-45 and I-10.

According to the National Weather Service, Houston has a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms beginning late Sunday morning. Temperatures will climb to near 90 degrees, with high humidity increasing the risk of slick roads and reduced visibility during storms.
