A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for portions of Harris, Montgomery, Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto and Trinity counties until 9:45 AM. Damaging wind gusts of 60 mph and 3/4" hail are possible. Seek safe shelter indoors and away from windows as this storm blows through.

BOOM! There it is. It looks like today is not only a record breaker, but it's also the first 90° day of 2025 for #Houston. This makes only the 3rd first 90° day in March since 2000. Houston Chronicle

Pretty numerous showers are moving through the #Houston area at this time. Storms are behaving themselves, but heavy rain could cause some evening commute slowdowns.
