ABC13 Weather Watch: Bertha brings scattered downpours and some gusty winds to Southeast Texas today

Summary by The Bellaire Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Travis Herzog, ABC13 Houston (KTRK / ABC) · July 23, 2026 · 1 min read

We have an ABC13 Weather Watch today as Bertha brings scattered downpours and gusty winds to parts of Southeast Texas.

Why this matters in The Bellaire

For Bellaire residents, the lingering storm chances on Father's Day are a concern given the city's history of flooding. As a small city surrounded by Houston, Bellaire's drainage systems can be quickly overwhelmed by heavy rainfall, leading to flash flooding in low-lying areas. With the Houston Independent School District schools out for summer, families may be planning outdoor activities for Father's Day, and the threat of isolated downpours means they should be prepared for sudden changes in weather. The city's police department and emergency management officials will likely be monitoring the situation closely to respond quickly in case of any flooding or storm-related emergencies. Residents should stay informed about the weather forecast and sign up for emergency alerts from the city to stay ahead of any potential storms.
