Houston, TX – A new round of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to develop across Central and Southeast Texas this afternoon and continue into tonight, with the potential for damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, hail, and flash flooding.
According to the National Weather Service offices in Houston-Galveston and Austin-San Antonio, scattered storms are intensifying near Austin and San Antonio and are expected to expand eastward into the evening hours. A Flood Watch remains in effect through 5 a.m. CDT Sunday for much of Southeast Texas, including Houston, College Station, and Galveston.
Meteorologists warn that rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are likely, with localized amounts up to 6 inches possible. Flash flooding may occur in low-lying areas, creeks, and roadways, especially where heavy rain repeatedly falls.
Drivers are urged to avoid flooded roads and stay updated on warnings throughout the night. The Weather Service reminds residents: “Turn around, don’t drown.”
Showers and storms may persist into Sunday morning before conditions gradually improve later in the day.
