HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A storm front will blow into Southeast Texas, leading to multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms Saturday night and Sunday as it stalls out overhead. We have an ABC13 Weather Watch for that timeframe to account for the possibility of street flooding and strong storms that could produce severe hail and wind gusts.
Most of today will be storm-free, and we have lowered our daytime rain chance down to 20-30% to account for a few passing showers. The storm front blowing in from North Texas should generate a fairly solid line of showers and thunderstorms that will push into Southeast Texas Saturday evening. That’s when we’ll have the greatest risk of any storms producing severe hail and winds, but the chance you’re near a severe storm is only 15%. Meanwhile, your rain chance is much higher at 70% Saturday night and Sunday. The storms should outrun the front Saturday night, leaving the front stalled somewhere in Southeast Texas. Multiple rounds of storms are possible Sunday along that stalled front, especially in the morning, and street flooding will be possible.
How much could we pick up this weekend?
At this time we expect the average rainfall total to be around 1 inch, but locally higher amounts are possible. There will also be some pockets that pick up less than an inch of rain.
When could it rain during Spring Break?
A more powerful storm system will plow through Texas around Wednesday, bringing another round of high rain chances. This weather system will pose a greater risk of severe weather, which includes the possibility of tornadoes. After it clears out, we should have delightful weather for the remainder of Spring Break with lots of sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures more in line with March than May.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings this winter season?
Not at this time. While we can’t 100% rule out another run at frosty weather later in March or even April, odds favor those who want to start tending to their garden beds. We might make it into the 40s behind the cold front arriving during Spring Break, but that shouldn’t pose a threat to tropical plants.
