Houston
– The NWS has upgraded our severe weather threat slightly for areas to our north.

A level 1 (green) means more isolated storms, level 2 (yellow) means scattered but more organized with greater coverage while level 3 (orange) means more numerous strong thunderstorms.

Our severe weather risk is now a 2 out of 5 for areas like Columbus, The Woodlands, and Conroe. Areas like Houston, El Campo, and Sugar Land are at a 1 out of 5, while northern Brazos County is at an enhanced risk of 3 out of 5.

Weather Bullets:

We’ll for a few isolated chances for thunderstorms from 5-7 pm north of I-10, as the front makes it way to the College Station area by midnight, moving into Houston around 3 am and pushes off the coast around 5 this morning.
We’ll watch for rain, thunderstorms, a slight hail for folks up north and a very slight tornado risk at the tip of our viewing area.

Depending on how the front develops and the atmosphere evolves, that will determine the intensity of the storms — and that’s what we’ll be tracking tonight.
