Tracking Thunderstorms and Strong Winds!

Thunderstorms, Strong Winds, and Fire Risk Ahead of Sharp Cold Front: “Feels-Like Temps” dropping into the 30s and 40s by Monday Morning. Wind Advisory: Starts this morning at 10 to 6 Monday night. Expect sustained south-southwesterly winds of 15-25 mph with gusts up to 40-45 mph today, shifting northerly and remaining gusty post-frontal passage Sunday night into Monday. The shift from southerly to northerly winds behind the front causes replaces our moist Gulf air with drier air from the north which causes our humidity to drop which increases fire danger as our winds pick up. Fire Weather Watch starts after our front pushes through: Monday morning through Monday evening Winds gusting 25-35 mph (higher in spots), combined with very low relative humidity dropping to 18% creates dangerous conditions for rapid wildfire spread, especially along and west of I-45 and near the coast. Severe Weather Risk: Majority of our viewing area: Marginal Risk 1 out of 5: Green. An area of severe storms of either limited organization and longevity, or very low coverage and marginal intensity. However, areas like Liberty and Livingston are a slight Marginal Risk 2 out of 5. Slight Risk 2 out of 5: Yellow. An area of organized severe storms, which is not widespread in coverage with varying levels of intensity. Timing: Could speed up or slow down but as of this morning 7 pm: The Wood lands, Conroe, Livingston 8 pm: Wharton, Jersey Village, Bush, Liberty 10 pm: Spotty showers by 10 south of I-10 This as our “ feels-like” temps drop into the 30s and 40s by Monday morning: Huntsville: 35 Livingston:36 Katy: 39 Sugar Land: 40 Pearland: 40 🫶 Brittany #houston #htown #weather
