Edouard Approaches SE Texas, Flood Watch in Place as Rain Totals Shift East

Tropical Storm Edouard has formed in the Gulf and is expected to make landfall near Sabine Pass on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to Southeast Texas. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Chambers County and a Flood Watch covers eastern Southeast Texas from late Monday through Wednesday morning. Forecasts call for 3–5 inches of rain, with isolated 6–9 inches and the heaviest totals east of I-45, raising street-flood risk as bands move inland. Rain should reach the coastline Tuesday morning, with the best chance of heavier rain for Houston around midday and the greatest rainfall to the east including Chambers, Liberty, and Galveston counties.

Bertha’s rain bands push flash flood risk across Houston tonight

Bertha’s rain bands are drenching the Houston area this evening, triggering a flash flood warning for parts of southwest Harris and Fort Bend counties. Forecasters expect Stage 1 or low-end 2 flooding with some spots near 4 inches, especially west of I-45, as the bands drift north and west. The heaviest downpours should peak in 2–3 hours and taper after about 9–10 PM, with Bertha continuing west-southwest after making landfall east of Houston.

Houston's Rainy Week: Widespread Showers with Uncertain Flood Risk

Houston picked up about 1–2 inches of rain today, with isolated spots near Inwood Forest measuring up to 4 inches; radar is quiet for now. Tuesday is expected to bring more showers, roughly 1–2 inches, with a similar pattern. A Gulf system could raise rain chances later in the week, and some models show potential heavy rainfall through Thursday, though forecast confidence is low due to track uncertainty. The flood alert remains at Stage 2 with a possible escalation to Stage 3 if trends worsen. This isn’t Harvey—it’s a different setup, but a real flood risk exists in the second half of the week; more clarity is expected in tomorrow’s update.

Houston Braces for Possible Ice as Weekend Freeze Looms

Space City Weather warns of a potential weekend deep freeze for Houston, with possible freezing rain or ice and subfreezing lows around 20°F in the city (colder inland, warmer near the coast), though exact conditions remain uncertain. Road impacts could range from dry to icy, prompting closures in some districts; a Monday morning electricity strain is possible due to cold and ice on lines, though major outages are not expected. Saturday will bring thunderstorms, with travel disruptions and airline waivers likely; residents should prepare for icy patches, subfreezing temperatures, and monitor updates as forecasts clarifying conditions.
