Tornado warnings firing up as storms move into Houston

As a line of storms now approach Houston, reaching areas such as Katy and nearing Sugar Land, Tomball and The Woodlands, we’re starting to see some tornado warnings pop up across the region.

Most notably the National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning until 8:45am CT for parts of Northeastern Wharton County, Northwestern Brazoria County, South central Harris County, and Fort Bend County:

These storms will continue to move from west to east this morning, and I expect this mess to clear out of the area by around Noon, if not before. In the mean time, however, be prepared for the possibility of tornado warnings throughout the metro area, during which you should take cover indoors, in an interior room if possible.
