Houston Weather Update: Scattered Storms Expected Thursday with Ongoing Flood Watches and Warnings

In Houston, the weather remains unsettled as scattered storm chances persist on Thursday. Although the heavy rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard have calmed somewhat, the area is still under watch for potential storm activity.

Currently, a Flood Watch is in effect for several counties, including Montgomery, Liberty, and Polk, lasting until 1 p.m. on Friday. The Piney Woods region and areas northeast of Houston are particularly at risk for significant flooding.

A flash flood warning has been issued for parts of Houston and surrounding counties, including Trinity, Liberty, Polk, and San Jacinto. Residents in these areas should remain vigilant as downpours continue.

Throughout Thursday and into Friday, scattered showers and storms are anticipated, with some areas experiencing brief but heavy rainfall that could lead to localized street flooding, even in regions not currently under flood warnings.

Looking ahead to the Labor Day weekend, the potential for afternoon storms will persist, though coverage is expected to be more sporadic. Residents can anticipate warm and humid conditions, with temperatures in the low to mid-90s and primarily late afternoon rain showers.
