Houston residents should prepare for another day of potentially severe weather. The KHOU 11 Weather Team and Fox 26 are both reporting a high likelihood of heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout Thursday, June 11, 2025.
Flood Watch in Effect
A Flood Watch is in effect for the Houston metro area, as well as surrounding coastal and inland counties including Galveston, Fort Bend, Wharton, and Jackson. The National Weather Service has also issued flood watches for Washington, Grimes, Walker, and Trinity Counties. Forecast models indicate the potential for several inches of rain to fall in a short period, especially in areas where storms repeatedly pass over the same locations.
Severe Storms Possible
In addition to heavy rainfall and potential flooding, some of the thunderstorms could be severe, bringing damaging winds, dangerous lightning, and the possibility of large hail. There's also a small chance of isolated funnel clouds or tornadoes, although this is not the primary threat. Expect gusty winds and ponding on roadways.
