Severe weather is possible today through early evening as a strong cold front moves through Southeast Texas. A Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms is in effect for areas east of a line from Burleson County southward into Brazoria County, while a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) covers the rest of the region. All severe hazards are possible, including damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. Stay weather-aware, monitor local forecasts, and have multiple ways to receive alerts tomorrow.
Localized heavy downpours are possible across Southeast Texas today as a strong cold front moves through the region. High rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour or greater could develop within strong to severe thunderstorms, leading to potential minor urban and small stream flooding. A Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) for excessive rainfall is in place for the Piney Woods, with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) extending down through the I-10 corridor. Stay weather-aware, monitor for localized flash flooding, and remember to never drive into flooded roadways.
Storms will be capable of becoming strong to severe today ahead of and along the cold front. Damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes will be possible with the strongest storms. Remain weather aware, make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings, and always know where the nearest shelter is.
Strong winds and building seas are expected behind the cold front later this evening. North to northwest winds around 20 to 30 knots with gusts up to 35-40 knots are possible through Thursday afternoon. Conditions will be hazardous to small craft.
Expect cooler and drier conditions Thursday and Friday in the wake of a cold front. Warmer conditions will occur this weekend ahead of another cold front that will move across the area Sunday night. Much cooler weather will occur Monday and Tuesday behind the second front.
