Severe weather possible today & overnight.

#msg5917220Severe weather possible today & overnight. 👉 Scattered, severe weather possible this afternoon. 👉 A line of severe storms will move through late tonight (after 2AM). 🚨 Gusty winds, hail, frequent lightning & an isolated tornado or 2 are all possible. .......................... From Space City Weather: Mother's Day will mostly be fine in Houston, but severe storms are possible tonight. Eric Berger · Sunday, May 10, 2026 11:28 AM In brief: *Today will be mostly sunny with temperatures warming into the upper 80s. *A few isolated showers and thunderstorms possible later this afternoon or early evening. *However, an advancing front overnight will likely trigger widespread storms. Happy Mother's Day! I hope moms everywhere are being spoiled today. I am spoiled with a great mom, a wonderful wife and mother of our two daughters, and an amazing mother-in-law. Raising children is not easy, but these moms have all done a great job. 👉Sunday forecast: *Fortunately, for most of today, the weather will be just fine to celebrate our mothers. *After a cloudy start, we are seeing clear skies, and sunshine will prevail for the rest of the day. *It will get fairly warm, with highs across Houston generally ranging from 85 to 90 degrees this afternoon. *Some of this heating is due to compression, which is driven by an advancing front. *This front will provide a focus for increased storm activity later today and tonight. 👉 By late afternoon - or early evening - I expect to see some scattered showers and thunderstorms develop across the northern half of the region. 👉 Some of these storms could become severe. 👉 Threats include damaging winds, hail, heavy rainfall, and possibly a tornado. *For most of us, however, things should remain fairly calm. 👉 By around midnight, give or take, we should see a more well defined line of storms form to the northwest of Houston (i.e. Brazos Valley and College Station area). 👉 This line of storms will then move fairly quickly from the northwest to southeast, pushing off the coast by or before sunrise on Monday. 👉 We are fairly confident that this line of storms will hold together for areas northwest of Houston, and probably all the way down to the Interstate 69/Highway 59 corridor in the city. *After that, it may weaken as it approaches the coast (or maybe not). *Regardless, you should be prepared for the possibility of inclement weather overnight. *Since this is not a slam dunk, we are only going to a 7 out of 10 on our excitable dogs scale. 👉 If things line up, the thunder, lightning, and wind from these storms may jolt you awake tonight. 👉 Again, we are concerned about hail and damaging wind gusts, although we cannot rule out a tornado or 2. *In terms of rainfall, since the storms will be fairly progressive, most areas should see 1 inch or less, although there will likely be some higher bullseyes. Much calmer weather will arrive by Monday morning, and prevail through much of the week.

#msg5917233We purchased several new plants yesterday and are trying to decide whether to plant them today or not. It appears that we have a realistic possibility of hail and heavy storms tonight and I don't want them to get beat down. Can you give me any insight on the realistic possibility of the storms happening.
