More storms possible in Houston today as stormy weather continues

Today’s forecast:

Don’t let your guard down. More severe thunderstorms are possible later today. Although the risk of flooding and severe weather is low, it is not zero. Typically, when we receive small threats, it results in isolated issues. Some of us will experience more storms that can cause street flooding, straight-line winds, and hail. This stormy weather pattern persists until Friday.

Summary of Tuesday’s storm:

A strong line of storms moved through southeast Texas, bringing large, golf ball-sized hail, damaging winds and heavy rain. More than three inches of rain fell in the downtown area. The strongest winds were recorded at 75 miles per hour near Bush Airport, causing flooding in some areas and debris in others. Power outages reached more than 300,000 at the height of the storm, around 2:30 p.m.

Houstonians who need help can call FEMA or 211.
