Houston, Texas – Heavy rain and dangerous storms will continue to hammer Southeast Texas through at least Thursday evening, with the highest flood risk focused north of Houston in cities like College Station and Huntsville.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected throughout Wednesday, with 2 to 4 inches of rain common and isolated pockets seeing 6 to 7 inches or more. A Flood Watch remains in effect for much of Southeast Texas, and officials warn it may be extended.
The most intense rainfall is expected from the Brazos Valley into parts of East Texas. Urban centers like Houston, Livingston, and Crockett could experience localized flash flooding, especially during the morning and evening commute hours. A moderate risk for excessive rainfall blankets areas along and north of I-10, while the severe weather threat—including hail, damaging winds, and an isolated tornado—extends along the corridor from Columbus to Galveston.
Travelers are urged to avoid low-lying roads and creeks, and to never attempt to drive through floodwaters. Keep phones charged, enable emergency alerts, and remain indoors during lightning or wind threats.
Warnings remain active through Thursday night, and more alerts may follow if rainfall persists or spreads.
