Anderson County Severe Weather

04/30/2026

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Anderson, Freestone and Navarro County in TX until 9:30pm CDT.

04/29/2026

Just a FYI.

Todays severe weather threat just like any other threat runs from 6am to 6am.

We'll have more rain & storms thru tomorrow as well.

Nws has our rainfall totals up to 4"

We need more than drizzle to get there, just not the damage that those storms may bring other than the rain.

Both severe risk pictures are of the same. Closer look for everyone. Anderson County included.

Large to very large hail, possibly up to the size of tennis balls. Damaging winds up to 70mph, a few tornadoes possible. Frequent cloud to ground lightning, heavy rainfall.

Stay weather aware.

Stay weather aware.

More severe weather is possible this afternoon and evening across a large portion of Texas. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats, however as usual an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out!

04/29/2026

Tornado Watch for Anderson, Falls, Freestone, Henderson, Houston, Leon, Limestone, McLennan, Madison, Robertson and Trinity County in TX until 1:00am CDT.

FYI, from my personal standpoint.

I know we have had many severe weather threats over the years, and many of them have either went around us, dissipated etc. We've been spared so many times from the destruction left behind from the storms. And there has been times we were left with wide spread wind damage & catastrophic floods.

I would hope that everyone still took the threats seriously, and were prepared, just in case.

Today, will be one of those days, that we need to be prepared for.

So far the capping inversion has held a lid on thunderstorm development. Today, will not be one of those days, since these storms will be ahead of a cold front.

We'll have a round of storms possible from late morning to early afternoon, and a more potent threat later tonight that will be in the form of QLCS aka squall line.

All modes of severe weather will be possible. Large to very large hail, damaging winds up to 70mph, dangerous frequent cloud to ground lightning, a few tornadoes with some being large & long tracks. Heavy rainfall may cause some flooding concerns as well.

So please be weather aware. Make sure your family & friends are aware of this storm threat.

Secure all loose outside plants, furniture, and trampolines.

We desperately need the rain, just not the bad stuff.

Share this post, let's make sure everyone will be weather aware!!

Continued rain chances with much cooler temps expected thru the end of the week

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0700 AM CDT Tue Apr 28 2026

Valid 281300Z - 291200Z
..THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
MID-SOUTH...
..SUMMARY...
Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms will occur across parts of
the southern Plains into the lower Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys and
Southeast through this evening. Very large to giant hail (2-4+
inches), swaths of severe/damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are
all possible.
..Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast...
With large-scale upper troughing anchored over the Plains and
central Canada, an embedded mid-level shortwave trough will eject
eastward across the southern/central Plains to the lower/mid MS
Valleys by this evening. Rich low-level moisture continues to spread
northward from TX into southern OK this morning in tandem with a
low-level jet, and this trend should continue downstream into the
lower MS Valley through the day as a warm front lifts northward to a
weak surface low across the Ozarks. Another surface low will remain
over northwest TX, with a dryline extending southwestward to the Big
Bend region.

A strongly unstable airmass exists across the southern Plains to the
ArkLaTex, along and near a slowly retreating/northward-returning
warm front. Elevated supercells are ongoing across western north TX.
This activity is being aided by lift and strong deep-layer shear
associated with the ejecting mid-level shortwave trough, and
low-level warm/moist advection. Current expectations are for these
supercells to continue posing a threat for mainly large to very
large hail through the rest of the morning as they spread
east-northeastward across north TX/southern OK. But, eventual
clustering and a greater damaging wind threat may materialize into
the afternoon as this convection crosses the front and accesses
greater instability across AR and the Ozarks.

Additional surface-based convective development is forecast near the
triple point in north-central TX towards the ArkLaTex this
afternoon, where extreme instability (4000+ J/kg MLCAPE) and very
strong deep-layer shear (50-60+ kt) will support the potential for
multiple intense supercells. Very large to giant hail (2-4+ inches)
may occur with the strongest supercells given the overall very
favorable environment and presence of steep mid-level lapse rates.
Some tornado threat may also exist with these supercells, even
though low-level shear is not forecast to be overly strong.

Numerous to widespread convection across the Mid-South to southern
Appalachians has generally diminished in intensity this morning. In
its wake, airmass recovery is anticipated today across the lower MS
Valley and Mid-South. A convectively reinforced front/outflow
boundary from the morning thunderstorms should attempt to lift
northward some through the day, with the greater instability
forecast across the lower MS Valley where steep mid-level lapse
rates are in place. Convective evolution across these areas through
the evening remains unclear, but multiple rounds of supercells and
multicell clusters capable of producing large hail, scattered to
numerous damaging winds, and perhaps a few tornadoes appear likely.
Less instability is forecast to the north of the ongoing convection
across the TN Valley, but some airmass recovery and severe threat
still appears possible by late afternoon/early evening.

Daily chances for showers and storms will continue through the rest of this week, with greatest chances Thursday into Friday. After the Tuesday cold front, we will see cooler temperatures to end the week. Some storms could become strong on Wednesday, while the threat for heavy rain increases by Friday.

04/28/2026

A cold front and dryline will bring a chance of thunderstorms today and tonight, some of which may be severe. The highest severe weather threat will likely be this afternoon and evening for areas near and east of I-35.

04/27/2026

Humid temps will continue for the next several days n nights. Temps will generally be in the low to mid 70s overnight, with day time highs in the 80s to near 90.

Daily rain chances 20-30%

Some storms could be strong to marginally severe with damaging winds & hail being the primary threats. Low to zero tornado threat.

A strong cold front will arrive by late Wednesday into Thursday timeframe(subject to change) with higher rain/storm chances. Much cooler temps, close to 20-25° cooler for our highs & lows for friday into the weekend.

If our severe storm threat increases or if were included in any threats, I'll update.

Good afternoon everyone.

We managed to be spared from the severe weather yesterday thru last night. This has been case for several days, with the exception of early yesterday morning as a strong storm with strong winds caused a few trees to topple over in the neches & alderbranch area prior to going severe in Northern Houston county.

So far the capping inversion has held, keeping s lid on thunderstorm development.

There is a chance that the cap(capping inversion) could weaken enough for storms to develop. If this occurs, then the storms could go severe rapidly.

We have a small chance today, better chance on monday, better chances on tuesday.

Stay weather aware!!
