The weekend got off to a rocky start in parts of southeastern Texas as a line of severe thunderstorms swept through early Saturday morning, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of customers.

Houston and the rest of Southeast Texas are about to receive their biggest dose of rain in more than a month this weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Here are five big questions and what to keep in mind before the storms roll in and the puddles start to grow.

Winds up to 40 mph are possible with these storms, as well as small hail. Heavy downpours could lead to localized flooding. Storms have the potential to intensify as they push further into Southeast Texas through the rest of the night. It is advised to stay in a safe location until the storms pass.

Houston anticipates heavy rain and thunderstorms on Saturday, with a 90% chance of precipitation, possible street flooding, and 1-2 inches of rain forecasted. Conditions may disrupt outdoor activities.

The worst of the storm came through between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday, with the hardest-hit areas seeing winds of up to 40-50 mph. CenterPoint said Saturday that 95 percent of its customers experienced no interruptions; however, about 169,000 customers saw their power knocked out during the storm's peak.

Storms will linger in San Antonio through Saturday morning, but another round of storms could develop across Central and East Texas later in the day.
