ABC13 Weather Alert Day: Severe T-Storm Watch issued in SE Texas until 8 p.m.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Monday is an ABC13 Weather Alert Day as strong to severe thunderstorms continue to move through the region. Hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall are the primary threats southeast Texas could face from these storms today. A brief tornado can't be ruled out, either.
As of 5 p.m., the strongest storms were located closer to the coastline and producing gusty winds and heavy rainfall. And the Severe Thunderstorm watch has started to be trimmed from west to east as the severe weather threat for Southeast Texas decreases this evening. That being said, these storms should roll out by 8 p.m. on Monday and then we're drying out into Tuesday.
WATCH: ABC13's Need to Know Weather for Monday evening
A Flood Watch also continues for our northern counties and will remain in effect through Monday at 7 p.m. Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches Monday could lead to flooding of low-lying areas or prolong flooding already occurring in some locations. Isolated street flooding is also a concern as these thunderstorms move in.
Both Bush and Hobby airports are experiencing ground stops going into the late afternoon. You can check your flight on the National Airspace System Status.
Can we expect more storms this week?
Yes, but thankfully after two quieter (though toasty) days. Thursday is our next chance for showers and storms.
With the continued rain, will flooding become an issue again?
A Flood Watch continues through Monday evening for our counties north of Houston and I-10. While heavier rains could prolong some flooding impacts there, the heavy rains possible with severe thunderstorms Monday could lead to isolated street flooding everywhere across Southeast Texas.
