Stage 2 Flood Alert Lifted for Houston Region as Heavy Rain Threat Subsides With Mild Temperatures in the Mid 60s to Upper 70s Settling In Sunday May 24
HOUSTON AND SURROUNDING REGION — The Stage 2 flood alert that was active across the Houston area has been officially lifted Sunday, May 24, 2026, as the likelihood of widespread storms has subsided and the heavy rain conditions from Saturday have largely passed. RTMA 2.5km temperature analysis valid at 1115z Sunday shows mild and comfortable temperatures ranging from the mid 60s inland to the upper 70s along the coast, signaling a much calmer and more pleasant end to the Memorial Day weekend for the region.
Stage 2 Flood Alert Officially Lifted as Saturday Storm Threat Passes
The Stage 2 flood alert that had been keeping the Houston region on high alert through the weekend has been ended as storm conditions responsible for Saturday’s heavy rainfall have moved through and largely exited the area. The widespread storm threat that prompted the elevated alert has subsided significantly, bringing relief to communities that had been on flood watch through the prior days.
Residents across the Houston metro and surrounding communities can now move through the remainder of their Memorial Day weekend with considerably reduced weather concerns. However, areas that received significant rainfall through Saturday should remain cautious around low-lying zones and waterways that may still be running elevated.
RTMA Temperature Analysis Shows Mild Mid 60s to Upper 70s Across the Region Sunday Morning
RTMA 2.5km temperature analysis valid at 1115z Sunday morning shows comfortable and mild conditions across the broader Houston region, with inland areas reading in the mid to upper 60s and coastal zones warming into the upper 70s. The Houston metro itself is sitting in the upper 60s with values of 67 to 68 degrees widely observed across the city and surrounding suburbs.
Coastal communities are seeing the warmest readings of the morning, with values reaching 70 to 72 degrees along the immediate shoreline and pushing to 76 to 79 degrees over the Gulf waters. The temperature gradient from inland to coast reflects a classic post-storm pattern as drier and more stable air settles across the region.
Remainder of Memorial Day Weekend Looking Pleasant Across the Houston Area
With the flood alert lifted and storm conditions having passed, the remainder of Memorial Day weekend is shaping up to be a significantly more pleasant experience for Houston area residents. The calm and mild Sunday morning conditions are a welcome contrast to the active and flood-threatening weather pattern that dominated much of the prior week.
Residents who had been monitoring flood conditions and sheltering from storm activity can now make the most of the holiday weekend’s remaining hours. Staying aware of any residual flood-prone areas and avoiding standing water on roadways remains advisable even as the broader severe weather threat has cleared the region.
