Storms roll in overnight across southeast Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n If you’re heading to work early Tuesday morning in Houston<\/strong>, don’t be surprised if you’re greeted not just by wet pavement<\/strong>, but possibly by a loud thunderclap or two<\/strong> before your alarm even goes off. Waves of overnight thunderstorms<\/strong> are expected to move through southeast Texas<\/strong>, driven by a stalled cold front<\/strong> lingering near Dallas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This front is forecast to remain nearly stationary, setting the stage for multiple rounds of storms<\/strong> pushing through the region, especially during the overnight hours into early Tuesday<\/strong>. As of 12 a.m.<\/strong>, radar models show strong storm bands<\/strong> starting to move in from the north.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Early wake-up call with lightning and gusty winds<\/strong><\/p>\n By 2 a.m.<\/strong>, the storm system is expected to intensify, bringing frequent lightning<\/strong>, heavy rain<\/strong>, and potentially strong to damaging wind gusts<\/strong>. If you’re a light sleeper or live near open areas, you may be awakened well before dawn by the rumble of thunder or flashes of lightning.<\/p>\n These storms aren’t just about sound and spectacle\u2014localized flooding<\/strong> and minor wind damage<\/strong> can’t be ruled out, particularly in vulnerable low-lying spots across Greater Houston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Morning commute likely to be soggy and slow<\/strong><\/p>\n Heading into Tuesday morning<\/strong>, around 6 to 8 a.m.<\/strong>, the system will continue to push toward the Texas Gulf Coast<\/strong>. Although the exact timing varies slightly among forecast models<\/strong>, most agree on a pre-sunrise impact<\/strong>, tapering off late in the morning.<\/p>\n Commuters should expect slick roads<\/strong>, reduced visibility<\/strong>, and delays on major highways<\/strong> such as I-10<\/strong>, US 290<\/strong>, and the Sam Houston Tollway<\/strong>. Even if the heaviest rain has moved out by rush hour, residual moisture<\/strong> on the pavement and scattered showers may still create a hazard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keep checking in for updates<\/strong><\/p>\n With forecast models still adjusting their timing, it\u2019s best to stay connected with KPRC2 meteorologists Caroline Brown and Anthony Yanez<\/strong>. They’ll provide the latest real-time tracking<\/strong> and updated model runs<\/strong> as the situation evolves throughout the night and into Tuesday.<\/p>\n Be sure to keep an eye on the KPRC2 Weather Center<\/strong> for the newest alerts\u2014especially if you’re commuting from areas north of Houston<\/strong>, where the first wave of storms<\/strong> is likely to arrive earlier than along the coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Storms roll in overnight across southeast Texas If you’re heading to work early Tuesday morning in Houston, don’t be surprised if you’re greeted not just by wet pavement, but possibly by a loud thunderclap or two before your alarm even goes off.
