The NWS described the tornado in Humble and Kingwood as an EF-1, which involves high winds moving up to 110 miles per hour. In Montgomery meanwhile, was surveyed by the NWS as EF-0, meaning less severe than the one in Humble, as winds are much lighter, moving up to 65 miles per hour.
However, we should look for light rain and showers through lunch on Sunday. Additionally, a weak front will clear out the rain at the end of the weekend. Southeast Texas should see a quiet start to the workweek.
