We’re tracking the next front set to move into Southeast Texas next week, bringing another round of unsettled weather to the region. 🌩️

Here’s what we’re watching:
• Increasing rain and thunderstorm chances ahead of the front
• Potential for 2"-4" of widespread rainfall amounts for the region
• Heavy rainfall possible in spots
• Breezy conditions ahead of the front

Timing and impacts will become clearer over the next few days, so now is a good time to stay weather aware and check back for forecast updates.

What are you hoping this front brings — cooler weather or much-needed rain? ⬇️

Persistent onshore flow is helping increase the rip current threat along Gulf-facing beaches today.
⚠️ Beachgoers heading to the Upper Texas Coast today should be aware of an elevated rip current risk. Persistent onshore winds and rough surf can create dangerous currents capable of pulling swimmers away from shore quickly. 🌊
If you’re visiting beaches from Galveston to Surfside or Bolivar Peninsula, swim near a lifeguard, avoid swimming alone, and stay out of the water if conditions look rough. If caught in a rip current, don’t fight it — swim parallel to shore until you escape the current.
Always check beach flags and local conditions before heading into the water. Stay safe and enjoy the coast responsibly! ⛱️

Clouds will hang around through much of the morning before sunshine returns this afternoon with highs near 89°. 🌤️

Tonight, showers and thunderstorms move back into the area with the best chances after midnight. Some locations could pick up between 0.25” and 0.50” of rainfall. Rain chances taper off early Monday with cooler highs near 83°. 🌦️

There is a chance for severe weather across the region later today and tonight, with large hail and damaging winds as the main threats. Stay weather aware, especially this evening and overnight.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! 💐

While the overall severe weather threat remains fairly low through the weekend, it’s not zero. A Level 1 of 5 (“Marginal”) severe risk is in place for mainly northern and northeast areas today. The main threats will be isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts.

We’ll also be watching Sunday evening closely as the next front approaches. Conditions may become more favorable for stronger storms, with severe thunderstorms potentially moving in from the northwest.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible across Southeast Texas through the weekend as several disturbances move through the region. While the heavy rainfall threat has decreased, a few storms could still become strong to severe, mainly north of Houston with isolated large hail and damaging winds possible at times.

Storm chances may increase again late Saturday into Sunday as additional rounds of storms develop along lingering boundaries and an approaching cold front. Stay weather aware this weekend and keep an eye on updates as timing and coverage may change.

Stormy start to the day across Southeast Texas 🌧️

Heavy rain is ongoing mainly north of US-59, and a Flood Watch is in effect today. We’re already seeing street flooding and rising water levels on creeks and bayous, especially north and northwest of the Houston area.

Overnight storms brought pockets of large hail (Sugar Land to Pearland), and while things have briefly weakened, more rounds of storms are expected through today. The heaviest rain is setting up from Columbus → Sealy → Cypress → Kingwood → Liberty, with additional rainfall of 1–3” likely and isolated spots picking up 4–5” where storms train over the same areas.

As soils become saturated, runoff will increase—so expect continued rises on area waterways. Even though storms are moving quickly, repeated rounds could still lead to localized flooding issues.

⚠️ A few stronger storms today could still produce large hail or gusty winds, especially if the coastal front shifts inland.

Good news: A strong front arrives later today, pushing storms out and bringing in cooler, drier air for the weekend.
