Slow-Moving Front Brings Storm Delays and Severe Weather Risks to Houston

Hey everyone, if you’re waking up in Houston this Monday morning, you might want to check the radar before heading out. A slow-moving cold front is making its way into Southeast Texas, and while it was originally expected to arrive Sunday night, the timing has shifted. Now, we’re looking at storms hitting Houston during the morning commute, bringing with them some potential risks.

So, what’s going on? This front is lacking momentum, and with warm, humid air from the Gulf slowing it down even further, it’s taking its time moving south. While that might mean a bit of a delay in the storms, it doesn’t take away the potential for severe weather in some areas. Right now, we’re looking at a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms in parts of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods. For areas south of the Brazos Valley, including the northern Houston metro, the risk level is marginal (level 1 out of 5).

What does that mean for you? Well, these storms could bring damaging wind gusts and large hail , so it’s best to stay weather-aware. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for multiple counties, including Burleson, Brazos, Madison, Houston, and Trinity, until 1 AM Monday. And if you’re in Brazos or Madison counties, be aware—a Severe Thunderstorm Warning is active until 11:30 PM, with potential hail the size of golf balls and wind gusts reaching 60 mph.

With the slow movement of this front, rain totals in Houston itself aren’t expected to be too significant. But that doesn’t mean you won’t see some storm activity. Overnight, storms will push through the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods before moving into Houston by mid-morning. Northeast portions of the city could even get woken up in the middle of the night by some rowdy weather.

So, if you’re heading out early Monday, keep an eye on the latest updates. Storms will continue to shift south, and though the rain may not be heavy everywhere, the potential for strong winds and hail makes it important to stay informed. As always, your weather team is tracking the latest changes and will keep you updated throughout the day. Stay safe, Houston!
