A flash flood warning is currently in effect for a portion of Central Texas. Devastating flooding along the Guadalupe River is being caused by a strong low-pressure system that is churning across Austin, San Angelo, and San Antonio. Throughout the day, our staff will provide you and your family with updates from the region. Our staff is on the ground and will provide you with updates all day long.
Since this is a slow-moving system, we anticipate that the number of raindrops will increase over the following few hours. As of right now, we are tracking over 13 in certain regions over the last 24 hours.
What does that signify for Houston residents like us? The region of low pressure that is circling west and central Texas for the Fourth of July is expected to assist Houston’s forecast become a little rainy at points this afternoon. This morning is cloudy, humid, and muggy, and after 2:00 there may be thunderstorms. Saharan dust will continue to produce widespread haze, which will give way to partly overcast skies with the possibility of isolated showers tonight.
With a few sporadic downpours in Houston, storms start to form as the afternoon wears on and last until at least six o’clock. Most storms and showers move east before sunset, and most of SE Texas should be dry (though still humid as everyone leaves) for the 8–10 pm firework hours.
Although saharan dust is still present in southeast Texas, Thursday is showing some signs of relief. But for a large portion of the holiday weekend forecast, a stronger plume will return.
Due to large quantities of particle matter that might irritate the respiratory system, the dense plum makes the skies hazy and lowers air quality.
We’re also keeping an eye on a low-pressure system in the tropics that is situated about 150 miles off the coast of Northeast Florida. This weekend, this cyclone is predicted to travel inland across the Southeastern United States, bringing with it significant rainfall to coastal Carolinas and portions of Florida. We will provide updates as soon as they become available. Today, an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is conducting an investigation into the storm.
Keep in mind that November is the end of the Atlantic hurricane season. Although the tropical season peaks in September here in southeast Texas, storms could occur at any moment during the fall. Hurricane Beryl made landfall early on July 8th of last year.
This hurricane season, be sure your family is equipped to handle any situation that may arise.
