Nothing says springtime in Houston like Rodeo, bluebonnets, and storms.
Houston’s severe weather season happens twice a year, once during winter and once during spring. April and May are the peak months in the spring for tornado activity.
However, only in March and so far this year, storms have produced wind damage across SE Texas and even a tornado in Liberty County. The most recent storms led to high water spots across the city.
Weekend Storm Threat:
The destructive nature of spring storms is why KPRC2 meteorologists sound the alarm whenever there is a severe risk, even if it is low.
This weekend, a cold front arrives on Sunday, bringing a broken line of storms that could produce strong winds and hail. This storm system will likely move through SE Texas on Sunday evening into Sunday night. However, stay connected for an updated timeline and for any changes in impacts.
The risk for most is a 1 out of 5, but north across Trinity and Polk counties, the severe risk is 2 out of 5. Make sure you have a way to receive alerts.
Behind the storm threat comes a drastic temperature drop from near 90 to the 30s! Check out that forecast here: Houston nearing 90 by the end of the weekend, before storms and winter temperatures return.
