HOUSTON – It’s time to keep those umbrellas handy as a flood watch has been issued from Corpus Christi up through Brazoria County, effective from Thursday morning into Friday afternoon. According to KPRC’s meteorologist, Justin Stapleton, this watch is indicative of potential heavy downpours affecting these areas, although the metro area is currently not included in this alert.
Flood watch and flash flood risk
Flash flood risks have increased for parts of the central and south Texas coastline. With the highest flash flood risk along the coast from Corpus Christi to Matagorda Bay, it’s crucial to stay updated on local forecasts and conditions, as they could see heavy downpours and multiple inches of rain quickly.
Messy Next Few Days
Expect a warm day with temperatures around 84 degrees. It will feel a bit sticky, especially in the afternoon. As we move into Thursday and Friday, rain possibilities rise, keeping temperatures in the relatively cooler 70s. While today’s heaviest showers will remain south, expect them to drift in by Thursday afternoon.
Impact on events
For those planning to attend the Astros game, be aware of possible scattered downpours. The first pitch is set for 3:10 p.m., so bringing rain gear might be a wise choice. Additionally, while the rain isn’t expected to be heavy, it could pose inconveniences during other events like the Street Fest.
The “Futuretrack” model suggests that the bulk of heavy rain might stay offshore by late Friday, but keep an eye on localized forecasts. Storm Tracker 2 will continue to provide updates to help plan your days effectively.
Looking ahead
As the wet weather departs over the weekend, events such as the Bayou City Art Festival and the final rounds of the Texas Children's Houston Open appear to have favorable conditions. Next week's weather looks promising, with a return to dry days and temperatures in the mid-80s.
