HOUSTON, TEXAS — Storms are rumbling through the Houston metropolitan area during the pre-dawn hours this Saturday May 23, with KHGX Houston radar updated at 5:54 AM showing intense red and orange returns blanketing the Houston core and spreading across The Woodlands, Pasadena, Baytown, Sugar Land, Pearland, and surrounding communities as the first of a handful of disturbances expected this weekend moves through the region.
Forecasters note that rain chances will be a bit lower on Sunday before the hope of fair sunshine returns for Memorial Day Monday.
Intense Storm Activity Covering Houston Core and Surrounding Communities Pre-Dawn Saturday
Radar at 5:54 AM Saturday shows a large and active storm complex centered directly over Houston with deep red and orange returns indicating heavy rainfall and intense storm activity across the metropolitan area during the early morning hours before sunrise.
The storm coverage extends northward through The Woodlands and Kingwood corridor, eastward through Baytown and toward Beaumont, and southward through Pasadena, Pearland, and into the Lake Jackson area based on the current KHGX Houston radar presentation.
The widespread and intense nature of the pre-dawn storm activity makes Saturday morning a period of hazardous driving conditions for any early morning commuters or travelers across the greater Houston metropolitan area.
First of Several Weekend Disturbances With More Storm Rounds Expected Through Saturday
Saturday morning’s pre-dawn storm activity represents only the first of a handful of disturbances forecasters are tracking for the Houston region this weekend, meaning additional rounds of rain and storms are possible through the remainder of Saturday as the active weekend pattern continues.
The multiple disturbance setup for Saturday gives the Houston area limited recovery time between storm rounds before additional activity potentially develops through the afternoon and evening hours following the pre-dawn opening round.
Forecasters are hopeful that rain chances will decrease noticeably on Sunday before Memorial Day Monday brings a fair amount of sunshine to the Houston region, giving holiday weekend outdoor plans a better chance of success as the week concludes.
