Houston enjoys dry conditions, and scattered storms can be seen approaching New Orleans from the west.

Prepare for an active weather day across the Southeast tomorrow. A cold front is making its way from the west, expected to bring thunderstorms from Houston to Mobile during the afternoon and evening. New Orleans may experience strong to severe storms, so it’s essential to stay weather-aware. Keep an eye out for potential rainfall accumulation causing localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas.
