South Texas Storm Chances continue the evening
This is a weather radar image of south Texas taken at 3:11 PM. Scattered storms continue moving east/southeast across South-Central Texas, the Coastal Bend, and Southeast Texas.
Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon across the southern Edwards Plateau, South-Central Texas, east into the Coastal Plains, and Southeast Texas. Most individual storms will move east/southeast through the evening hours. Some storms may be strong to severe with large hail, localized damaging winds, and a non-zero risk of a spinup tornado. Nearly constant cloud-to-ground lightning, along with heavy rainfall, is a guarantee for any thunderstorm.

As we continue into tonight, thunderstorms will weaken and start to die down across the southern portions of the state. Into Monday morning, we will feature southerly winds, bringing a tropical-like environment north across the eastern seventy-five percent of Texas. That environment will continue advancing north into Oklahoma and Kansas. Spotty showers, drizzle, and low clouds will be widespread tonight.
Monday afternoon through Monday night will bring a severe weather outbreak to Oklahoma and Kansas. Northern portions of Texas are on the southern edge of the risk, where we may see one or two storms fire up during Monday’s evening hours. If any storms do manage to develop, they would likely become severe with a threat of destructive hail and localized damaging winds. The most likely outcome is that storms remain north of the Red River. Most of Texas should remain thunderstorm-free on Monday.
FULSHEAR, Texas – A Texas homeowner heading out for an early morning walk got quite a surprise when he mistook a large reptile parked on his front porch for an online delivery.
Officers with the Fulshear Police Department were called to a local residence last week after the homeowner accidentally struck an alligator with his screen door, initially believing it was a package from Amazon.
What they’re saying:
“With all the heavy rain we’ve been getting lately, it seems the gators are on the move,” the police department said in a statement. “This little fella decided to skip the swamp and upgrade to porch life this morning.”
Footage released by the department captures the alligator resting on the concrete porch while the homeowner explains the startling encounter to responding officers, noting he didn’t realize what it was until he banged into it with the door.
Police officers successfully wrangled the alligator and relocated it safely to a nearby pond.
Recent heavy rainfall across the region has displaced local wildlife, prompting authorities to urge residents to remain cautious as animals seek out dry territory.
“If you see an unexpected visitor like this around your home, give it plenty of space and let us handle it,” the department reminded the community. “Apparently, even the gators are looking for higher ground these days!”
The department also added a bit of local humor to the unusual morning call: “And yes, before anyone asks, this little gator is not paying property taxes.”
