HOUSTON – Happening NOW until 8 PM, we have a severe thunderstorm watch for Shepherd, Livingston, Huntsville, Crockett, Navasota, and College Station.
These storms could produce large hail (nickel-sized) damaging winds (over 65 mph), and a slight tornado risk.
Stay weather aware and be ready to take shelter if warnings are issued. We’re tracking a front lifting warm, moist Gulf air, which is sparking thunderstorms.
Hail Safety Tip
Park cars under a garage or carport and if you don’t have one - cover your car with blankets or tarps to try to minimize damage.
Wind Safety Tips
Bring indoor items like patio, furniture and trash cans to prevent them from being dangerous projectiles during the storm.
Slight Tornado Risk
Make sure you and your family have your safe room in advance - like your bathroom, interior room without windows.
