---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Robinson, Jim (Office of Management and Budget) Madison and parts of Walker counties now marked by SPC for a slight chance of severe weather tomorrow with most of Southeast Texas looking at a slight risk Saturday. An enhanced risk will exist on Saturday generally east of Livingston. The latest from NWS is included below. From: NWS Houston - NOAA Service Account <nws.houston@...> Sent: Thursday, April 3, 2025 3:44 PM Subject: NWS Update: Risk for Strong Storms, Heavy Rain for Fri - Sat Good afternoon, Bottom Line There is a potential for severe weather and heavy rain on Friday and Saturday as a cold front moves through the area. Initial storms will develop ahead of the cold front on Friday afternoon and evening, with the main threat area across portions of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods. Widespread thunderstorms will impact the area on Saturday morning and afternoon as the front moves through, bringinging the threat of severe storms and heavy downpours. Overview We continue to monitor the possibility of severe weather and heavy rain to accompany the passage of a cold front during the early part of the weekend. Initial thunderstorm development is expected tomorrow afternoon ahead of the front itself. Some scattered storms could become strong to severe across portions of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods, with a general risk of thunderstorms roughly to the north of the I-10 corridor. The primary weather concern remains Saturday, as the cold front moves into the area over the course of the morning and into the early afternoon. Widespread thunderstorm development is expected to accompany the passing front, with the severe storm threat increasing from west to east across our forecast area (see image below). Developing thunderstorms will have the potential to become severe, bringing the risk of damaging wind gusts, tornadoes, and/or large hail. Furthermore, some storms may produce locally heavy downpours which could lead to street flooding, especially in urban, low-lying, or poor drainage areas. The heavy rain risk remains greatest across portions of the Piney Woods. Marine Hazards Strong onshore winds ahead of the front have prompted both a Small Craft Advisory and a Beach Hazards Statement. Wind gusts as high as 35 knots, along with elevated tide levels and a risk for rip currents along Gulf-facing beaches, are expected. Urban Flash Flood Messaging Heavy rainfall is forecast for portions of Southeast Texas, including highly urbanized areas like the Houston metropolitan area. Based on forecast conditions, NWS Houston will be utilizing the following urban flash flood messaging for this event: - Drive with caution. Cars may flood in low-lying areas. Ponding on roadways may increase risk of hydroplaning. - Pay attention to the weather. Monitor the NWS, your local media, HCFCD and other official weather information sources. - Rain may move repeatedly across the same area, causing a rapid rise on creeks and bayous. However, creeks and bayous are not likely to exceed their banks.

I decided to write an early morning update on the severe weather potential over the next few days. For today and Friday, a frontal boundary will be just north of Southeast Texas and just close enough to keep thunderstorm chances alive in portions of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods. Today's severe risk, however, appears limited to the parts of Houston County north of Crockett where the SPC has placed Houston County in a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather today. For Friday the front will have moved a little closer and the marginal risk of severe weather will extend further south to generally north of a Columbus-Conroe-Livingston line. The best opportunity for a few storms to become strong to severe would be in the afternoon to evening hours. By early Saturday morning the previously stationary cold front should reach Southeast Texas and severe weather and locally heavy rainfall will pose a risk with the highest probability north of IH10.and up into the Piney Woods. The front should reach the Houston metropolitan area by mid-day and be along the coastal area by the afternoon. Rain should be tapering off from west to east by Saturday night. Saturday's weather presents the possibility for all types of severe hazards including damaging winds, large hail, locally heavy rain, and isolated tornadoes. As indicated in the attach SPC Day-3 graphic, all of Southeast Texas will be under a slight risk (level 2 of 5) with an enhanced level 3 risk not far from our east extending from deep East Texas into Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. The Houston-Galveston forecast office (HGX) earlier this morning produced an experimental precipitation graphic (attached) which shows the probable average rainfall accumulation acrosss the area through Saturday.

Latest from NWS From: NWS Houston - NOAA Service Account <nws.houston@...> Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 4:24 PM Subject: Multiple Days of Severe Weather Possible Good afternoon, Overview Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible over the next several days leading up to a cold front this weekend. For Wednesday and Thursday, the severe weather risk is expected to be more isolated in nature, focused across our northern counties. The Storm Prediction Center has these areas under a Marginal (Level 1/5) Risk of Severe weather on these days, with damaging wind gusts and large hail being the primary risks. An isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out. Risk of severe weather increases and expands further south to the I-10 corridor on Friday, extending into Saturday as the cold front pushes through SE Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has these areas along/north of I-10 under a Slight (Level 2/5) Risk of Severe weather for Friday as Saturday. All severe weather hazards will be on the table for these days (damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornado). In addition, locally heavy rainfall will also be possible on Saturday as the front pushes through SE Texas. The Weather Prediction Center has areas north of I-10 and along/east of I-45 under a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) of Excessive rainfall for Saturday. Urban Flash Flood Messaging Heavy rainfall is forecast for portions of Southeast Texas, including highly urbanized areas like the Houston metropolitan area. Based on forecast conditions, NWS Houston will be utilizing the following urban flash flood messaging for this event: Street Flooding (Select if Anticipating Moderate Rainfall Rates; 1-2"/hour) - Drive with caution. Cars may flood in low-lying areas. Ponding on roadways may increase risk of hydroplaning. - Pay attention to the weather. Monitor the NWS, your local media, HCFCD and other official weather information sources. - Rain may move repeatedly across the same area, causing a rapid rise on creeks and bayous. However, creeks and bayous are not likely to exceed their banks.
