Houston Monday Weather Brings More Storms as Crime Incidents and Texans–Colts Fallout Shape the Morning
Date Published

Residents across Houston are preparing for another round of storms Monday as overnight crime reports and reaction to the Texans–Colts game shape the start of the week. Local officials urge commuters and business owners to plan for heavy rain, slower travel times, and potential street flooding.
More Storms Expected to Move Across Houston
Forecasters expect scattered thunderstorms through Monday morning and afternoon. Because the ground remains saturated from recent rain, even brief downpours may worsen drainage issues in low-lying neighborhoods. Emergency crews say they are on alert for disabled vehicles and minor flood events along major corridors.
Drivers should watch for high water on feeder roads and underpasses. Metro warns that delays are possible on bus routes if storms intensify during peak travel hours. Although severe weather is not guaranteed, conditions may change quickly.
Overnight Crime Keeps Police Busy
Houston Police responded to several overnight incidents across the city. Early reports include a pair of shootings on the north and southwest sides, as well as a robbery investigation near a late-night business. Detectives are gathering evidence and speaking with witnesses. Officers say none of the incidents appear connected.
The department plans to release more information later Monday. Meanwhile, residents in affected neighborhoods may notice increased patrol presence as investigators work their cases.
Texans–Colts Matchup Sparks Conversation
Sports fans are also talking about the Texans' meeting with the Colts. Sunday's game brought out strong opinions as Houston continued its push for a stronger position in the AFC South. Analysts say the performance raised questions about consistency but also showcased the team's resilience.
Local businesses near the stadium reported strong crowds despite the wet weekend. Sports bars across the city expect similar turnout next week as the playoff picture becomes clearer.
