Overview
- Rounds of scattered showers and thunderstorms rolled through on Saturday, producing heavy downpours in spots and leaving morning drizzle or lingering showers across many markets on Sunday.
- The National Weather Service has issued Flood Watches for parts of Southeast Texas through Monday with forecasts calling for about 1–3 inches of rain and isolated higher totals that could cause street or urban flooding.
- Forecasters say the overall severe threat this holiday weekend is low for most areas, but isolated strong cells capable of hail and damaging winds remain possible in localized zones.
- Many outlets and models show conditions improving for most people on Sunday and Memorial Day with sunnier, warmer weather in the afternoons, followed by renewed rain chances Tuesday–Wednesday of next week.
- The pattern is a pulse-style setup that can ease drought where several inches fall but also create short-lived flooding and disrupt outdoor travel or events, so officials advise staying weather-aware and heeding local watches and warnings.
