Next big round of thunderstorms arrives in Houston overnight

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We've got an ABC13 Weather Watch for Wednesday morning as a line of strong thunderstorms could bring street flooding and gusty winds ahead of the morning commute.

The strongest storms are expected to reach Houston sometime between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Severe wind gusts and small hail are possible along the leading edge of the storm complex. Once the leading edge clears your neighborhood, a steady rain with occasional rumbles of thunder will continue for several hours. Prepare for a wet and stormy morning drive in to work and school, but we should have a mostly rain-free sky in the afternoon.

Is severe weather possible with this line of storms?

Yes, there is a slim chance some of the storms could produce damaging wind gusts and large hail, but the overall risk is low at this time. You are more likely to encounter heavy rain and street flooding.

Any 90-degree days on the way?

Yes. After our rain-cooled Wednesday, temperatures will trend up toward 90 quickly The last weekend of May is looking hotter with highs at or near 90 degrees. And even if the thermometer doesn't hit 90 Saturday or Sunday, it'll certainly feel like it with heat index values in the low-mid 90s each day.

Hurricane season starts in less than a week. Is there anything brewing out there?

Nope! No activity is expected in the next 7 days across the Atlantic, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up near a stalled out front during the first week of June.
