    Low chance (20%) of tropical development in the southwest Gulf into this weekend

    Low chance (10%) of tropical development in the southwest Gulf into this weekend  Increasing signal for heavy rainfall late Sunday-Tuesday A tropical wave and associated large plume of moisture has moved over the Bay of Campeche this morning. Satellite images show a burst of deeper convection but there is no indication of any surface low IR Satellite Loop for Gulf of Mexico | Tropical Tidbits . Upper level conditions are only marginally favorable for any development of this system given westerly and southwesterly wind shear in place over the southern and western Gulf. This feature and associated moisture will spread NW toward the northern Mexican coast and south Texas coast over the weekend and then northward along the TX coast early next week. Sunday-Tuesday: As the feature in the southern Gulf moves toward the NE MX and lower TX coast over the weekend and plume of tropical moisture will spread NW into the TX coast. At the same time an usually strong trough of low pressure over the central plains will push a cold front southward into the region. This front looks to stall over the area Monday and Tuesday. The combination of the stalling front and tropical moisture will surge rain chances late Sunday into Tuesday. With the stalled front in the area the potential for cell training within a moisture rich environment will be increased. WPC has already outlooked portions of the area for Sunday and Monday for excessive rainfall. It will be important over the next few days to monitor forecasted rainfall amounts and any potential flooding concerns early next week.

     Wet Bulb Temperature Forecast for Southeast Texas 

    Wet Bulb Temperature Forecast for Southeast Texas  It’s not just the heat you need to watch—it’s the combination of heat and humidity. Wet bulb temperatures are forecast to climb across Southeast Texas over the next several days, making it feel even more uncomfortable outdoors and increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. When wet bulb temperatures rise, the body has a harder time cooling itself through sweating. If you’re spending time outside, be sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and check on vulnerable family members, neighbors, and pets. How are conditions where you are? Are you already feeling the summer humidity? #SoutheastTexas #HeatSafety #WetBulbTemperature #TexasWeather #WeatherInsights The post  Wet Bulb Temperature Forecast for Southeast Texas  appeared first on Weather Insights.

    Mother’s Day and Weekly Outlook

    For Mother’s Day, Sunday the next cool front will enter into N TX during the day and thunderstorms are likely to form along this boundary. Could see some sort of line or complex of storms form Sunday afternoon along the front and move into the area Sunday evening into Monday morning. Severe: Overall the severe threat is not overly high through the period, but it is also not zero. “Marginal” or level 1 out of 5 risk is in place for northern and northeast areas today and for much of the region on Saturday. Isolated instances of large hail or damaging winds will be the primary threats. Will need to keep an eye on Sunday evening as the next front approaches as it looks like we will have better instability to work with and severe thunderstorms could move into the area from the northwest.

    Stormy start to the day across Southeast Texas 🌧️

    Heavy rainfall is ongoing this morning, primarily north of US-59, where a Flood Watch remains in effect. Early impacts are already being observed, including areas of street flooding and rising water levels along creeks and bayous—especially across the شمال and northwest portions of the Houston metro. Overnight, thunderstorms produced pockets of large hail from Sugar Land to Pearland. While storm intensity has briefly decreased, the overall pattern remains active, and multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue through the day. The axis of heaviest rainfall is currently aligned from Columbus through Sealy, Cypress, Kingwood, and Liberty. Additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are likely, with isolated areas potentially receiving 4 to 5 inches where storms repeatedly move over the same locations. As rainfall continues and soils become increasingly saturated, runoff will intensify, leading to ongoing rises in creeks, bayous, and rivers. Although storm motions are relatively fast, the potential for training storms raises concern for localized flooding, particularly in more vulnerable watersheds. There is also a limited severe weather risk. A few stronger storms today could produce large hail or gusty winds, especially if the coastal boundary shifts farther inland and enhances instability. A strong cold front is expected to move through later today, bringing an end to the rain from north to south by this evening. In its wake, a much cooler and drier air mass will settle into the region, setting up a more pleasant and stable weather pattern for the weekend.

    Weekly Outlook Briefing 4-26-26

    Quiet conditions to start the day across Southeast Texas, but we’re tracking storms moving through North Texas that could try to hold together as they approach our northern counties later this morning. Most guidance suggests they’ll weaken—but we can’t completely rule out a stronger storm slipping through. This afternoon, the setup becomes a bit more favorable for storm development, with enough instability and wind shear in place. While the main severe threat looks to stay north of our area, any storms that do develop could produce large hail. A cap may limit storm coverage, especially farther south, but if it breaks, a few storms could quickly pop up. Looking ahead, a slow-moving front approaches next week and may stall north of Houston, keeping rain chances low early on. By mid to late week, rain chances increase as multiple disturbances move through, followed by a stronger front late week that could bring cooler, breezy conditions. Stay weather-aware this afternoon 👀🌩️ The post Weekly Outlook Briefing 4-26-26 appeared first on Weather Insights.

    Strong cold front will sweep across the area Sunday evening

    Strong cold front will sweep across the area Sunday evening   A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible along the front   Strong northerly winds of 35-45mph will occur behind the front Sunday night into early Monday   Frost possible Tuesday morning   Tranquil weather today and much of Sunday will quickly change as a late season powerful cold front sweeps across the region late Sunday afternoon/evening. Temperatures on Sunday will warm into the mid and even upper 80’s ahead of this boundary and this will create an increasingly unstable atmosphere favorable for some storm development along the incoming front. Do we see a broken line or more solid line of storms is questionable, but some activity is likely and nearly all of the high resolution guidance shows activity along the front. Front should cross the metro area between 500pm-900pm with activity quickly exiting to the east and south. A few storms along the front could become severe with damaging winds and large hail being the main threats. SE TX is on the southwest tail end of a larger scale severe weather outbreak focusing to our northeast. SPC has placed all of the region in a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms on Sunday evening. Once the front passes, strong northerly winds will ensue with frequent gusts of 35-45mph through Sunday night into early Monday as a cold air mass pours into the region. Winds will start to come down on Monday as the surface high builds over the area but will remain gusty. This will create a favorable period of high fire danger with gusty winds and low humidity values, but recent rains and ongoing “green-up” may help mitigate otherwise favorable fire weather factors. Note that highs on Monday in the mid 50’s will be some 30 degrees colder than Sunday. Depending on cloud cover that may pass over the area late Monday…there is the potential for late season frost or even a light freeze int eh colder outlying locations on Tuesday morning.
