These features will set off showers and thunderstorms as they clash with warm, humid air currently over southeast Texas. The cool front will move off the coast by Friday, bringing gradually clearing skies and drier conditions for the weekend.

TODAY'S WEATHER TRIVIA:Severe thunderstorms pounded Galveston on this day in 1953. The storms, packing wind gusts of 84-mph and a possible tornado, caused widespread damage across the city. One person was killed and two injured near 61st Street and Seawall when two construction sheds were demolished in the storm. High winds also knocked out electric and telephone service throughout much of the city and locals dubbed the storm "Hurricane Florence" though it was non-tropical in origin.
