Tornado Confirmed Near Spring, Texas as Dangerous Supercell Moves Through Harris County
SPRING, TEXAS — A tornado has been confirmed on the ground near Spring, Texas, as a dangerous supercell thunderstorm moves through Harris County, according to real-time radar reports.
At 1:48 p.m., meteorologists confirmed a tornado touchdown, with the storm tracking east toward The Woodlands at a rapid pace. Officials have warned that the system is capable of producing intense rotation, damaging winds, and large hail, posing a serious threat to anyone in its path.
Storm Track and Areas at Risk

Radar imagery shows a well-defined hook echo — a classic indicator of tornado formation — along with heavy lightning clusters and torrential rain.
Emergency management agencies have issued tornado warnings for the region and are urging all residents to seek shelter immediately, preferably in an interior room or basement away from windows.
Officials Urge Immediate Precaution
Meteorologists are calling this a “dangerous supercell”, emphasizing that visibility is low due to heavy rain and debris. Residents are being asked not to attempt to drive during the warning and to monitor alerts from the National Weather Service.
Local emergency channels have reminded the public to:
- Keep phones charged and emergency alerts on.
- Move to a small, windowless interior room on the lowest floor.
- Avoid overpasses, vehicles, and mobile homes.
Developing Situation
Authorities are monitoring the storm closely as it moves east through northern Harris County. Damage assessments will begin once the system has passed and it is safe for first responders to enter the area.
Residents across the Houston metro area are encouraged to stay alert, as additional rotating cells are developing to the west.
