HOUSTON – A powerful cold front that triggered deadly tornadoes and destructive winds across the central U.S. is stalling over Southeast Texas on Sunday, shifting the primary weather threat from severe storms to localized flooding and blinding rain.
As the region adjusts to the start of daylight saving time, residents are facing a bifurcated morning: heavy thunderstorms are drenching areas south and east of Houston while northern suburbs remain dry.
Heavy rain and slick roads
There is a cluster of slow-moving, high-intensity rain cells currently impacting the Gulf Coast. Blinding rain and frequent lightning have been reported along the Interstate 10 corridor, specifically affecting Baytown, Channelview, and southern Liberty and Chambers counties.
To the southwest, heavy rain and loud claps of thunder are moving through Sugar Land, Richmond, and Rosenberg. While the overall severe weather threat has decreased since Saturday, officials are urging caution for morning commuters.
Roads are slick, so just take it easy out there. Patchy fog and a lack of daylight until 7:30 a.m. have created hazardous driving conditions.

Temperatures across the region vary significantly due to the stalled front. While Katy and Brenham woke up to temperatures in the 50s, the rest of the Houston metro area remains humid and in the mid-60s.

Despite the passage of the front, significant cooling is not expected immediately. High temperatures this afternoon are forecast to reach the mid-70s under mostly cloudy skies. A southeasterly breeze will maintain humidity levels through Tuesday.
