HOUSTON — We’re gearing up for more rain tonight into tomorrow that could worsen flooding issues. Harris County has been included in that threat. Isolated thunderstorms this evening will lead to areawide storms tomorrow morning. This activity would be the first of several rounds of storms on the way for the overnight and Thursday across Southeast Texas. With any storms that develop, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornados and some hail are all possible. The most widespread threat however, will be the chance for isolated street flooding and river flooding.
Several rounds of storms are possible for the Houston area over the next 24 hours. The first batch could arrive as early as this evening, disrupting any dinner plans. Heavy rain and a few stronger storms are possible. These storms will arrive from the west and could produce very heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, and even an isolated tornado.
As a result, the Weather Prediction Center from NOAA has placed areas north of the city under a level 3 out of 4 for flash flood potential. This area is very saturated from the heavy rain over the weekend, so any additional rainfall will easily lead to flooding.
Additionally, the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted some of Southeast Texas under a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for the chance to see severe storms with damaging wind gusts being the primary concern.
More storms are possible on Friday as well, before drier conditions arrive for the weekend. By next week, a summer preview will arrive with a string of 90 degree days possible after Monday.
