A couple more shower chances before Houston’s first taste of summer next week

6 days ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: A few showers will dot the radar around Houston today and tomorrow. We’re optimistic that Mother’s Day will turn out mostly fine. But next week? It’s gonna get hot, like June or July-type heat. I want to start off with a quick note today. If you’ll recall, back in January of 2023, I had posted that I gave a talk about the SCW Flood Scale at the American Meteorological Society’s annual meeting in Denver.
Storms firing up in central Houston tonight-yes, this is a bit of a surprise

6 days ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Good evening! Matt here with a quick update for you on the weather that has, well, escalated across Houston. I am currently writing this from my son’s bed because some of the lightning (as many of you will attest) was too close for comfort. As of 10:30 pm CT we have a nearly stationary line of thunderstorms anchored over the Highway 59 corridor, or on either side. It’s maneuvering around a bit but not enough to avoid some developing flooding issues.
Storms moving into the southern half of the Houston region this morning, and then it all clears away

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: The Houston region will see one final round of showers and potentially severe weather today, but only the southern half of our area is at risk. After this morning, the bulk of the heavy rains and thunderstorms will shift east. We then can look forward to a pleasant, sunny weekend. After some central and northern portions of the Houston metro saw storms on Tuesday and Tuesday night, it is now the turn of coastal counties to see widespread activity.
Waves of severe weather possible today and Wednesday, including tornadoes, in the Houston region

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Today’s post discusses our storm expectations for the next two days, with at least three distinct waves of severe weather possible for various parts of the Houston metro area. The bottom line is that it is important to remain weather aware through Wednesday. A sharp disturbance in the upper atmosphere will provide lift needed to support unsettled weather from today through Wednesday across the Houston region.
Some showers and thunderstorms are possible this evening, and still looking at an active Tuesday and Wednesday

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Storms are firing up to the west of Houston this afternoon, and the region will face an unsettled pattern through Wednesday morning, at least. This post describes our latest thinking on timing and impacts from these storms. Good afternoon. Some fairly strong thunderstorms have developed near Brenham, and they are part of a system that is slowly moving to the east, and therefore toward the Houston metro area.
After a gorgeous weekend, storms return to the forecast for Houston

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Monday will be calm, but you should anticipate the potential for showers, thunderstorms, and heavy rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Houston metro area. We don’t have high confidence in the timing yet, but with the atmosphere in place we can be pretty confident in disruptions, and have put a Stage 1 flood alert in place through Wednesday. Things calm down after that. You would be hard-pressed, I think, to expect a finer weekend in early May than we just experienced.
Line of thunderstorms moving down into Houston, should push to the coast tonight

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Storms firing to the north and west of Houston will sag into the city this evening and down to the coast by around midnight. This system should also weaken with the loss of daytime heating, so the severe threat is diminishing. But it’s not completely gone yet. If you live along, or south of Interstate 10 you may be wondering what the big deal is with storm forecasts today. So far the majority of the activity has taken place in the northern half of the Houston metro area.
Storms firing up across Houston with a tumultuous evening on tap

In brief: Severe thunderstorms are developing in Houston as of noon on Friday, and will pose a threat for the next 12 hours across the region. We’ve got details about all of the threats in this update, with a particular concern for the evening commute. As anticipated, with daytime heating, we are seeing severe thunderstorms developing in the Houston region. As of 12:30 pm CT there are large clusters of storms near Kingwood and just west of Katy.
Strong to severe storms await Houston later Friday followed by an absolutely beautiful weekend

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and evening in the Houston area, especially north of I-10. Hail and strong wind gusts are the main concerns. Heavy rain is also likely in spots, so a stage 1 flood alert has been posted. After today, we get some quiet, if not absolutely beautiful weather this weekend. So, let’s get this out of the way first: This morning looks fine. No issues.
After a very warm April, storms will be possible on Friday ahead of one of the season’s last cool fronts

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Today’s post reviews an unseasonably warm April and then looks ahead to some dynamic weather on Friday. Much of the region should see storms between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning as a slow-moving cool front moves into the region. After this, the weekend looks quite nice for early May. If April seemed rather warm, you’re not wrong. The month ended last night, and for the greater Houston region it was a seasonably sizzling one.
