Dallas, TX – Southeast Texas is bracing for a stretch of warm, muggy, and windy weather ahead of an approaching storm system. A stalled front backing into the Brazos Valley will keep temperatures unseasonably high, with lows only dipping into the upper 70s—nearly 20 degrees above average for this time of year.

A Wind Advisory has been issued for Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with sustained winds of 15-25 mph and gusts up to 35 mph. Residents are advised to secure outdoor furniture and prepare for blustery conditions throughout the day.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon, with storm chances increasing as the day progresses. The Storm Prediction Center has placed parts of southeast Texas under a marginal (1/5) to slight (2/5) risk for severe storms, particularly affecting areas north of Houston, the Brazos Valley, and the Piney Woods. The main threats include large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated tornado risk.

A more significant severe weather threat is expected Saturday, as southeast Texas will be caught between a strong high-pressure system to the southeast and an upper-level low over Arizona. A 2 out of 5 severe storm risk has been issued, with the most active weather likely to develop Saturday afternoon into the evening.

While widespread flooding is not expected, isolated strong storms could produce localized flooding in some areas. After the system clears Saturday evening, cooler-than-average temperatures will arrive, bringing sunshine and a temporary break from the humidity. However, by Tuesday, Gulf moisture is expected to return, pushing temperatures and humidity levels back up.

Stay weather-aware and monitor updates as the situation develops.
