Southeast Texas Braces for Severe Thunderstorms and Potential Flash Flooding Through End of Week

Takeaways:

• The ABC13 Weather Team has declared a Weather Alert Day for Southeast Texas through Friday, with Houston included in the Flood Watch until 1 p.m. Friday.

• A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Harris, Liberty, and Montgomery counties until noon Thursday, with potential for street flooding, severe winds, large hail, and tornadoes.

• A line of thunderstorms expected Thursday could bring severe wind gusts over 60 mph and heavy rainfall, particularly north of I-10.

• Widespread rainfall totals of 2-5 inches are anticipated, with isolated areas possibly receiving 6-9 inches.

• The stormy conditions are due to strong jet stream winds over Texas, and while no cool fronts are expected in the first week of May, one more may arrive before summer heat intensifies.
