Mondays with Mike: Severe thunderstorms hit Houston

Rain totals could exceed 2-3" and the timing could bring dangerous weather during school dismissal. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed much of Texas including our area under risk for large hail as indicated by the black dashed lines. Large hail would be 2" in diameter - so anything from nickel-sized to egg-sized is possible. Large hail is usually isolated in coverage, but you may want to park your car under a cover if possible. Models are in fairly good agreement as to the intensity of the storms today and the overall development.
