While Tuesday was a washout, it lacked the intensity to see any flooding problems. Wednesday’s storms look more intense but not as widespread. Here’s the latest timing.

Morning drive through 9am:

Unlike Tuesday, your morning drive to work doesn’t look too bad. Most of the isolated rain is expected to be well west of the Houston area. The strong storms are along the Texas-Louisiana state line.

Noon:

Storms start moving into the Houston area. The big thing to notice is Wednesday’s storms aren’t as widespread as Tuesday’s showers. But the individual cells look much more intense. Be careful if you get caught under one of these cells. They’ll dump a heavy amount of rain in a short amount of time which can lead to street flooding.

Ride home from work and school 3pm to 6pm:

This is the time the storms will be over Houston. Make sure you have our weather app. We’ll notify you if there is heavy rain in your path. And remember if you hear thunder or see lightning, get inside right away.

Wednesday evening 7pm:

Storms push southwest and the rest of us start to dry out. It will be a nice night to enjoy the fresh clean air after two straight days of rain.
