The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for parts of Houston until 9:45 a.m. due to strong storms moving across the area.

Potential impacts from this storm include quarter-sized hail. Damage to vehicles is expected. People in the affected area are urged to seek shelter immediately in an interior room without windows and on the lowest floor of a building. People should bring their pets inside and delay travel or outdoor activities until the storm passes. If travel is unavoidable, reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning. Heavy rains may also impact the area and only a few inches of water can float a vehicle. When you see water covering the road, turn around, do not drive through it.

NWS says that the tornado warning will remain in effect until 3:00 pm.
