"NRG Stadium Braces for Severe Weather Threat During National Championship Game"

Houston is facing a narrow window for severe weather this afternoon as a line of storms is expected to move rapidly from west to east across the area, reaching central Houston between 4 and 6 pm CT. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for the entire metro area due to the potential for supercells to develop, with the possibility of strong, damaging winds, tornadoes, and hail. While the overall atmospheric conditions are not highly supportive for severe weather, residents are advised to stay weather-aware and expect additional light to moderate rain tonight after the front passes.
