Sunday Brings Low Humidity to Southeast Texas Following Saturday Night Storms
Following a night of storms, the weather in Southeast Texas is set to change dramatically. A cold front reached the area late Saturday and is expected to bring a mixture of sunshine and significantly lower humidity by Sunday.
Weather Overview
On Saturday evening, severe storm warnings were in effect from East Texas to Mississippi. The northern counties of Southeast Texas, including Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Huntsville, and Livingston, faced risks of strong storms. However, the majority of activity was limited, with the main line of storms approaching the Houston area around 11 PM.
Cold Front Passage
By 2 AM Sunday, the cold front will have moved off the coast, significantly reducing storm activity. Despite the diminished storms, a few lingering showers and isolated thunder claps may still occur.
Sunday Forecast
- Conditions: Sunshine and low humidity throughout Southeast Texas.
- Wind: North to northeast winds bringing drier air.

Fire Risk Advisory
The passage of the front will lead to an elevated fire risk as reduced moisture levels increase the danger. Many counties have issued burn bans. Residents are advised to avoid activities that could cause sparks, including:
- Not leaving fires unattended.
- Securing tow chains to avoid dragging and sparking.
- Avoiding parking over tall grass.
- Not discarding lit cigarettes on the ground.
