Houston, Texas – Scattered storms north of I-10 could pack a punch by late Wednesday, with the potential for damaging wind gusts across inland parts of Southeast Texas. Areas like College Station, Livingston, and Columbus are under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather, with impacts possible through early evening.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office, most thunderstorms will remain typical for early June. However, the strongest cells this afternoon could trigger 40–60 mph wind gusts, brief downpours, and isolated hail. The threat is greatest away from the coast, particularly in central and northeast inland counties.
Communities north of I-10, including parts of Montgomery, Brazos, and Walker counties, should stay alert for fast-moving storm activity between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Power outages and tree damage are possible where winds intensify.
Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items, monitor alerts, and identify nearby shelter options—especially if attending outdoor events or commuting during peak storm hours.
Storm chances ease overnight, but additional rounds of rain are possible later this week. Marginal risks may return depending on how Wednesday’s system evolves.
