HOUSTON (BNN)-- Widespread rain sweeps across Southeast Texas Thursday with potential for heavy downpours and even a few damaging storms that might produce hail, strong winds and separated tornadoes. Make sure you examine radar if you're heading out.
The highest threat for serious storms is in the brown zone on the image above, which is a level 3 out of 5 threat for extreme weather condition, according to the Storm Prediction. This is where wind shear (altering wind speed and direction with height) is most noteworthy. This is the kind of climatic setup that could produce separated twisters. Nevertheless, the entire region sees a minimum of some degree of severe storm danger.
It's worth keeping in mind that the term "extreme" does not suggest flooding. In fact, the most prevalent and heaviest rain is likely from
Houston south and east, as seen in yellow on the extreme rain outlook image above. The National Weather Service states rain totals of 1-3″ ″ could happen, however there may be as much as 4-6″ ″ if heavy rain continuously runs over the exact same location.
The bulk of Thursday's rain will take place from mid-morning through mid-afternoon. A great deal of the rain heads east of
Houston Thursday evening.
Scattered showers and non-severe storms are still possible Friday, then most of the weekend is most likely to be dry with enjoyable temperature levels.
