Houston, TX – Sheets of rain glisten under streetlights across southeast Texas this morning, signaling an active start to the final hours of November. Roads are slick, ditches are filling, and the steady drumming of rainfall may linger through the morning commute — a damp reminder that the winter travel season is officially underway.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, a Flood Advisory remains in effect until 4:45 a.m. CST Monday for Harris, Brazoria, Galveston, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Waller counties. Radar estimates show 1–2 inches of rain, with additional rainfall possible before dawn. Localized flooding has already been reported in low-lying neighborhoods and poorly drained intersections.
Drivers are urged to use caution on highways including I-45, I-10, and U.S. 290, where ponding could make travel dangerous through early morning. Standing water will be hardest to see before sunrise, and wind gusts may reach 25 mph, reducing visibility.
By Monday, showers will taper as temperatures dip into the mid-40s, bringing a cool, damp feel to the region. Early December begins on a calmer but colder note, with highs near 55°F Tuesday and nighttime lows hovering in the low-40s.
Looking ahead to the week:
- Monday: Showers early, turning mostly cloudy, high 53°F.
- Tuesday: Clearing skies, cooler breeze, high 55°F.
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, milder at 65°F.
- Thursday: Light rain possible late, high 64°F.
- Friday: Turning cooler again, highs near 58°F.
