Tornado Watch canceled (KPRC 2)<\/p>\n
The Tornado watch that was in place for Southeast Texas has been canceled. The only areas that remain under the watch are closer to Beaumont and Port Arthur.<\/p>\n
Some rain remains, but it is confined to coastal counties such as Chambers, Galveston, and Brazoria Counties.<\/p>\n
We mentioned a chance of a few isolated thunderstorms redeveloping on the backside and it appears one has closer to Austin near Bastrop. We will watch and see if any more develop that could impact areas closer to Houston.<\/p>\n
A cold front will bring a line of storms across Southeast Texas on Wednesday afternoon and evening. <\/p>\n
Storm timeline: <\/b><\/p>\n
Around 1 p.m., the front pushes into the Brazos Valley, bringing heavy rainfall, wind, and a lightning threat to Southeast Texas. <\/p>\n
At this time, we can also see some thunderstorms ahead of the front that could be stronger. <\/p>\n

The line of thunderstorms will continue to push in from the northwest to the southeast through the afternoon. The leading edge will reach our eastern counties by 4pm. <\/p>\n
Storms at 4pm (Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
The line will reach the Houston metro likely between 2 and 4 p.m. This will impact folks headed to the rodeo to see Creed, so stay weather-aware. This line can bring localized street flooding and frequent lightning strikes. <\/p>\n

A few lingering storms and showers will be possible through 7-9pm as folks try to leave the rodeo, but the main severe threat has ended. <\/p>\n

By early Thursday morning, we will be drying out, and a push of cooler air will be moving into SE Texas. There are no rain chances on Thursday or Friday. <\/p>\n
2AM Thursday<\/p>\n
This will impact afternoon pickup, the evening commute, and folks who are heading to the Rodeo to see Creed.<\/p>\n
The biggest concern with this system will be damaging wind gusts, skittle to penny size hail and locally heavy rain. Storms could drop 1\u20133 inches of rain per hour, so brief street flooding is possible.<\/p>\n
The morning actually looks quiet, but by early afternoon, we could see a few storms develop ahead of the front.<\/p>\n
