Houston, TX – Severe weather is expected to impact the Houston area Thursday evening, with the greatest risk occurring between 1 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thunderstorms could bring strong winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes.

According to the National Weather Service, heavy rain may lead to flash flooding, especially in areas north of I-10 and east of I-45. Saturated soil from earlier rainfall will likely exacerbate flooding risks. The storms will gradually move south after sunset and should diminish before midnight.

Residents are advised to stay weather-aware and have multiple alert systems in place. The storms could disrupt travel with localized street flooding and hazardous marine conditions. Experts recommend securing loose outdoor objects and avoiding travel during heavy rain.

The Houston/Galveston Weather Office warns of potential hail, wind gusts exceeding 60 mph, and isolated tornado activity. Emergency officials urge residents to monitor updates closely as the situation develops.

Preparedness is key as the weather system moves through. Keep an emergency kit ready, and heed all local warnings.
