Space City Wed Update Heavy Rain Will Fall Throughout Much Of Houston On Wednesday Morning, Street Flooding Possible Eric Berger 5/10/2023 5:42 AM A slowly-moving low pressure system is bringing a band of heavy rainfall into the Houston region this morning. As of 5:30 am CT the main line of storms remains southwest of the city, from Sealy to Needville to Lake Jackson. The heaviest of these showers and thunderstorms will slowly progress into the Houston area this over the next few hours, affecting the morning commute, before clearing out during the late morning hours. Based on current radar trends, the highest rain accumulations are likely to be along, and south of Interstate 10. These storms will bring widespread accumulations of 1 to 3 inches of rain, with the potential for 5 inches or more in isolated areas. This will flood at least some low-lying streets, with the potential for flash flooding where rainfall is heaviest this morning. For this reason we are maintaining a Stage 2 flood alert for our area until the early afternoon hours. After that time we are highly confident the threat will end. Please take care when you are out and about this morning. WEDNESDAY As rains wind down later this morning, and into the afternoon hours, clouds will remain omnipresent. This should help to limit high temperatures this afternoon to about 80 degrees, which certainly will be the region's coolest day for awhile. Rain chances tonight will drop to near zero, with a low in the low-70s.
