Severe Weather Threat Looms for SE Texas
30 Nov
Summary
- Temperatures will drop 22 degrees in 12 hours.
- Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday evening.
- Heavy rain may cause street flooding southwest of Houston.
A significant weather shift is expected across SE Texas as a cold front approaches, bringing a severe weather threat for Saturday evening. Between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, strong thunderstorms could form and potentially turn severe, carrying risks of hail, winds from 40-60 mph, and isolated tornadoes. This front will also trigger a dramatic temperature drop, with readings falling 22 degrees within a 12-hour period, necessitating warmer clothing for Sunday.
Anticipate 1 to 4 inches of rain from Saturday through Sunday, with particular concern for street flooding if the heavier precipitation falls rapidly. Data suggests the highest rain totals will accumulate southwest of Houston. Another pulse of rain is forecasted for Monday, bringing downpours and a continued low threat of street flooding to the region.
Looking ahead, the cold front ushers in significantly colder temperatures to start December, with highs expected in the 50s for three consecutive days in Houston. Additional rain is also predicted during this colder spell, continuing the wet pattern into the new month.
