Big storm system moving in overnight bringing widespread rain for your Thursday morning commute and the potential for snow flurries and wind gusts up to 45 mph on Friday morning.

Oh here we go again -- to snow or not to snow? That is the question for Friday morning.

Timing of the cold air and lingering moisture will make all the difference with the forecast Friday. Looks like snow accumulation from central and north Texas with the potential of a flurries, sleet or graupel around the Houston area and especially areas north of town.

Widespread rain expected overnight tonight through tomorrow morning. Rain accumulations between 0.5"-1.5" of rain for Thursday. Most of the moderate to heavy rain will move out by the afternoon and temperatures will continue to drop after that. I'm not expecting widespread flooding but a few high water spots will be the main concern for your Thursday morning commute and in to your midday.

Once the rain moves out wind gusts could get as high as 45 mph for Friday morning. That will be strong enough to create power outages.

Try to clean any debris around your home ahead of time and any limbs that need to be taken off and hopefully that will lessen any damage.
