Hail oh no!
The severe risk remains 1 out of 5, but the good news is that most of the energy continues to move south and east out of the Houston area.
When does the rain end?
Widespread rain will continue through the evening hours; still, watch out for an isolated, strong embedded thunderstorm.
As the night goes on, the rain’s intensity will weaken, and coverage will decrease as well. By 10 PM, most communities will be drying out.
