So, about the eclipse...😅 We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sky conditions will be poor. In fact, today is the start of a series of active weather days. Severe weather will be possible this afternoon into the overnight hours. Have multiple ways to receive alerts!

The upcoming #Eclipse is now within the 7 day forecast! A 94% Partial Eclipse will occur over #Houston next Monday, though cloudy skies and rain could lead to poor viewing conditions. Hopefully our neighbors in the path of totality will have better luck! #TXwx #HOUwx
