BRYAN, Texas – Stormy weather is making a return to Southeast Texas and the Brazos Valley this Sunday, as a complex of storms pushes eastward out of Central Texas. The system is expected to bring scattered thunderstorms, localized flooding, and the risk of isolated strong wind gusts through the early evening hours.
As temperatures rise through the afternoon, daytime heating has already sparked some pop-up storms ahead of the main system. The later we get into the day, the more likely it becomes that widespread rainfall and gusty winds will impact the region.
Flooding remains a primary concern, especially in areas that have already seen saturated soils in recent days. Gusts of wind accompanying these storms may also reach damaging levels, particularly along the leading edge of the storm line.
This round of storms is expected to linger into the evening, with a weaker, decaying system moving slowly across the region. Rainfall totals between 1 and 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) are likely for most locations by the end of the day Monday, though isolated areas could see amounts in excess of 4 inches (over 100 mm).
As we head into next week, the wet pattern continues. While storm coverage is expected to taper slightly after Monday, afternoon downpours will remain in the forecast through at least Wednesday, thanks to persistent atmospheric moisture across the region.
