Houston, TX – Residents across the Houston metropolitan area and portions of southeast Texas are being urged to prepare for potentially strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday night, with hail reaching 1 inch in diameter, gusty winds and heavy downpours possible through early Veterans Day morning.
According to the National Weather Service Houston Galveston office, another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop Tuesday evening, November 10, and continue into the early hours of Wednesday, November 11.
Forecasters have identified a Level 1 out of 5 marginal risk for severe thunderstorms, primarily affecting communities along and south of Interstate 10.
The risk area includes portions of the greater Houston region, extending toward the Gulf Coast and communities near Galveston, Freeport and Palacios.
While widespread severe weather is not currently forecast, a few thunderstorms could become strong enough to produce isolated hail measuring up to 1 inch in diameter.
Gusty winds and periods of heavy rainfall are also possible, potentially creating difficult driving conditions along major roadways overnight.
The timing could affect residents traveling late Tuesday or heading out early Wednesday for Veterans Day activities, work and other commitments.
Drivers along Interstate 10 and routes approaching the Gulf Coast should remain alert for sudden downpours that could temporarily reduce visibility.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that the severe weather threat is marginal, meaning isolated severe thunderstorms are possible rather than widespread severe weather being expected.
Residents should monitor changing weather conditions, secure lightweight outdoor items and ensure they have multiple ways to receive weather alerts overnight.
The greatest concern remains the possibility of isolated stronger storms developing within the broader area of scattered rainfall.
