Submit your rain photos and videos via Click2Pins. Here’s how.
Today’s severe & flood risk:
This constant stream of moisture is from a subtropical jet stream coming in from the Pacific Ocean. This translates into wave after wave of rain. While there have been breaks, areas that get hit with multiple waves are susceptible to street flooding and creeks running over their banks. There is also a low severe weather threat of hail and damaging winds. Houston will most likely deal with the possibility of isolated street flooding through Friday morning. We’ll see things start to wind down after noon on Friday.
Tonight’s Forecast:
We will see several rounds of showers and thunderstorms in SE Texas tonight. We are likely going to see a messy Friday morning commute. The heaviest rain will be by the coast, but everybody has a risk for flooding and a minor severe threat.
Friday’s Forecast:
We are expecting showers and storms primarily in the morning hours. There could be a few showers and storms in the afternoon but the rainfall will taper off into the evening. This will leave us with just a few sprinkles for Saturday morning and dry weather for Easter!
10-day Forecast:
Once our sprinkles move out Saturday morning we will be dry through next week! Highs will be warm in the 80s.
