Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued for Houston Area on Christmas Morning
Good morning, everyone. As we wake up on this Christmas morning, there's an urgent weather update for the Houston area. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued and remains in effect until 6:00 AM CST, impacting several counties across Southeast Texas. If you're in Harris, Brazoria, Galveston, Montgomery, or surrounding areas, this is the time to stay alert and informed.
Strong storms are currently moving through the region, bringing the potential for heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. The National Weather Service has also indicated the possibility of isolated tornadoes. Earlier reports noted severe thunderstorm warnings for parts of Harris County and a tornado warning that affected Montgomery and Waller Counties, although those warnings have since expired.

This severe weather is causing significant disruptions across the area. At George Bush Intercontinental Airport, a ground stop was temporarily in effect on Christmas Eve, while Hobby Airport is still experiencing delays averaging over an hour. Travelers should check their flight statuses before heading out, as weather conditions can change rapidly.
If you're planning to be on the roads, please drive cautiously. Flood advisories have been issued for several counties, including Harris and Fort Bend, as rainfall could lead to localized flooding. Remember, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” when encountering water-covered roadways.
For those staying home, make sure to secure outdoor decorations or any loose items that could become projectiles in high winds. It’s also a good idea to have a weather app handy for real-time updates. Many local stations, including KPRC and FOX 26, are offering live radar and severe weather tracking tools to keep you informed.
This holiday morning serves as a reminder that Mother Nature doesn’t take holidays. Stay safe, Houston. We’ll get through this storm together, and soon, we’ll return to the joy of celebrating this festive season. Keep an eye on updates, and take care!
