Strong rains and storms should hit Houston and Harris County on Wednesday afternoon.
Houston-After a stormy Tuesday evening which brought isolated floods and lightning in South-East Texas, more rain and storms returned Wednesday, with generalized impacts probably during the afternoon journey.
Level of emergency and threat
There is no official serious risk of SPC in place, but the risk of flooding located in the street is high this afternoon due to the tropical showers with slow evolution.
- Heavy rain (1 to 3 inches possible)
- Lightning
- Isolated high water stains during peak hours
A meteorological impact alert is in effect from noon to 5 p.m. when the risk of flooding is the highest.
Timing and duration
Storms will follow a typical summer model but could become more widespread and intense in the afternoon:
- Morning: Streaming showers especially silent and unequal near the coast
- Noon at 5 p.m.: Primary impact window – strongest showers, localized floods, potential slowdowns during peak hours
- After 6 pm: The rain begins to decrease, with a quiet night expected
Some districts could see little or no rain, while others could quickly pick up 2 to 3 inches, depending on the storm placement.
Geographic impact
- Most at risk: Areas in and around Houston and the county of Harris, in particular the intersections subject to floods
- Early storms: Can start along the Bolivar and Galveston peninsula, where humidity is higher this morning
- Afternoon focus: Should focus on the metropolitan region of Houston
Keep in mind: the radar motif is very localized, and it is not possible to determine exactly where the strongest rain will fall.
What to do
- Define alerts on your phone before leaving this afternoon
- Avoid low roads during the evening trip
- Prepare early if your area is subject to floods – move the vehicles, erase the drains and avoid park under the trees
Even if the storms seem dispersed, the high moisture content means that one downpour could quickly cause problems.
Ahead
The chances of rain fall on Thursday and Friday while a plume of Saharan dust arrives in Texas, drying the atmosphere:
- Thursday to Friday: 30% chance of isolated storms
- Weekend: 70% of rain luck comes back on Saturday with another series of strong showers
- Next week: Warm and drier at high pressure
No tropical development is expected in the Gulf or the Atlantic over the next 7 days.
As for the prolonged 7 -day forecasts, major changes are heading for us next week while high pressure settles.
