As a stationary front remains draped from the Mid-Atlantic to the Rio Grande, the severe storm and flooding threat will repeat itself into the weekend.

The threat started early Friday morning as damage was reported to multiple industrial buildings along Highway 71 in La Grange, TX.  A confirmed tornado pulled through Fayette County around 9 am local time. https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/1124353408075362304 https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/1124387397645557766 After documenting the damage in La Grange, Field Correspondent Brandon Clement followed the storms as they edged close to the Houston area.
