Spring in Baytown, Texas, is a season of renewal—warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and unfortunately, the onset of severe weather. As we move through April and into May 2025, it's crucial for homeowners to stay informed about the spring storm forecast and take proactive measures to protect their properties.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the Texas-Oklahoma region, including Baytown, is expected to experience a mix of weather conditions this spring. April is anticipated to have below-average precipitation, with an average temperature of 66°F. May, however, is forecasted to be warmer than usual, with an average temperature of 77°F and average precipitation around 5 inches. These conditions suggest an active spring storm season, with the potential for severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and even tornadoes.
Baytown homeowners should be aware of the following weather-related threats during the spring months:
Spring is notorious for severe thunderstorms that can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. These storms can cause significant damage to roofs, siding, and windows.
While not as common as in other parts of Texas, Baytown is still susceptible to tornadoes. These violent storms can cause catastrophic damage to homes and infrastructure.
Heavy rainfall over a short period can lead to flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Floodwaters can damage foundations, electrical systems, and personal belongings.
Hail can range from pea-sized to golf ball-sized or larger, causing dents in vehicles, broken windows, and roof damage.
Taking proactive steps can minimize storm damage and ensure the safety of your household:
Regularly inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles, and ensure flashing is secure. A well-maintained roof is your first line of defense against storm damage.
Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to allow proper water drainage. Clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, damaging your roof and siding.
Patio furniture, grills, and other outdoor items should be secured or brought indoors during storm warnings to prevent them from becoming projectiles.
Remove dead or overhanging branches near your home to reduce the risk of them falling during high winds.
Ensure your homeowner's insurance covers storm-related damages, including wind, hail, and flooding.
