Strong to severe storms will brew out in West Texas on Monday. This storm system will eventually impact Houston as it progresses across the state. Look for increasing clouds and humidity with gusty southeast winds.
Rain chances build up during the afternoon hours, but nothing too strong or severe is expected on the first day of the work week.
Several rounds of rain are expected in the middle of the week starting on Tuesday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the FOX26 area at a level 2 of 5 for severe storms on Tuesday, making it a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day.
On Wednesday, the coastal counties will be slightly more favored to see additional showers and storms.
Hail, strong winds, and isolated tornadoes are possible on Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition to the severe weather possibilities, heavy rains could cause localized street flooding and rises on area bayous.

Why central Ohio is seeing fewer tornadoes in 2025 than a year ago
COLUMBUS (WCMH) — After an active early spring, no tornadoes were reported in Ohio during May, which has only happened seven times in the past 30 years. The drop-off was related to a southward shift of the jet stream, with storms focused across the southern half of the country. Severe storms capable of producing a tornado require heat and moisture (fuel), in addition to a strong jet stream in the vicinity. Columbus had a 16-day stretch of below-normal temperatures in late May through June 2. All but four of the tornadoes in Ohio this year have been relatively weak EF0 events, and only one touched down in central Ohio–an EF0 tornado (85 mph winds) near Obetz that tracked 2.6 miles on the night of March 30. Last year, a record 74 tornadoes were confirmed in Ohio, including 23 storms in May. After five tornadoes touched down on June 5, 2024, in eastern Ohio, the 1992 record for a single year (62) was already equaled. The average number of tornadoes in an entire year in the Buckeye State is 22. Multiple tornado outbreaks impacted central Ohio in 2024, beginning on Feb. 28 and continuing through the spring, before a summer drought curtailed the storm threat. The calendar year was the warmest on record in Ohio, and in Columbus (57.3 degrees), with city records back to 1879. May averages more tornadoes than any other month in Ohio and the U.S., because of the frequent clash of cool, dry Canadian air and summerlike heat and humidity drawn northward by southerly winds from the Gulf. The other essential ingredient for rotating storms is wind shear — winds shifting direction with height — which causes the air to spin within strong updrafts. Nationally, 328 tornadoes were reported in May, fewer than in April (358), and comparable to a very active March (300), based on preliminary reports from the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. Through the end of May, Missouri and Illinois recorded 105 tornadoes, second only to Texas (109). A total of 1,042 preliminary unfiltered tornado reports were logged as of May 31 in the U.S., with final assessments often taking many months to complete, to remove duplicates of the same event.

Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Severe weather threat shifts east after storms blast Texas
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's Monday, June 9, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Powerful thunderstorms packing hurricane-force wind gusts and large hail swept across portions of Texas and Oklahoma on Sunday, knocking out power to tens of thousands of utility customers. Noaa's Storm Prediction Center had warned that a potential derecho could develop and track across North Texas overnight. However, the FOX Forecast Center determined that it did not come into fruition. Millions of people living along the Interstate 95 corridor on the East Coast were walloped by strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday, with cities like Washington and Baltimore facing the risk of some tornadoes. There were numerous reports of trees being brought down from Virginia to South Carolina, and at least two possible tornadoes were reported in Virginia. Tropical Storm Barbara is off Mexico's southern coast and is expected to become the Eastern Pacific's first hurricane on Monday. A few hundred miles to the west of Tropical Storm Barbara, Tropical Depression Three-E became Tropical Storm Cosme on Sunday and is also forecast to intensify to near-hurricane strength this week. Another area to watch behind those two systems now has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression later this week or over the weekend. Severe weather is expected again across a large portion of the Southeast and Northeast on Monday, but the intensity will be dialed back some. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed a large portion of the region in a Level 2 threat on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale. The main threats from storms that develop will be damaging wind gusts and some hail, but there is also a tornado risk in parts of the Deep South, Ohio Valley and Northeast. On May 19, animal control officers with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a call in Golden, Colorado, when a homeowner discovered a family of raccoons had moved into their wood-burning stove. The stove "had become the temporary Airbnb" for the family, according to the sheriff's office. Officers said as they opened the stove door, the mamma raccoon "ran up the chimney and onto the roof like it was her personal action movie." Officers gently scooped up the tiny fluffballs and placed them in a quiet bush outside the home to wait for their mamma. Here are a few more stories you might find interesting.

Pittsburgh area to see afternoon storm chances on Monday
The Pittsburgh area is set to see stormy weather late Monday afternoon. We have one more stormy day before we get some relief from the storms. Unlike yesterday, most of today will be dry. Storm chances should hold off until after 5 p.m. this afternoon, but everyone should see rain and storms after 5 p.m. but before 9 p.m. as a line of severe weather rolls through. All forms of severe weather are on the table, including strong winds, large hail, and even tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has a large part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe weather. Before 5 p.m., today will be a little humid with dew points hovering near 60 degrees. Winds will be out of the southwest at around 10 mph this afternoon. We will start the day off with sunny skies for sunrise, with sunny skies sticking around through around 9 a.m. It should be partly cloudy through 1 p.m., and then mostly cloudy for the rest of the day. Noon temperatures will be in the mid-70s. Highs today should hit 80 degrees, and it wouldn't be surprising if we briefly hit maybe 82 degrees just ahead of the storms. On top of stormy weather, we will also have a chance for flash flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 4) risk of flash flooding today, with a fairly high 40 percent chance. It will not take much rain at all for us to see flooding breaking out. Please be aware that flooding is the biggest risk when it comes to human safety, with more people dying of flooding than any other severe weather type. Besides perhaps a little rain falling just after midnight, we begin a dry stretch of weather on Tuesday, with us likely being dry Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Rain and a severe weather risk look to return on Saturday. Highs on Tuesday will hit the mid-70s, and it will be very comfortable. Wednesday highs will be near 80 with another comfy day expected.
