MONTGOMERY COUNTY

The National Weather Service continues to monitor Tropical Storm Ida as the system prepares to make landfall in Louisiana Sunday night into Monday morning as a potential Major Hurricane (Cat 3+). Tropical storm force winds are expected to reach the Louisiana coast Sunday morning and could potentially reach the Southeast Texas coast Sunday evening. At this time, threat to Texas remains relatively low. Some portions of Southeast Texas could see 1 to 3 inches of rainfall. While Texas and Montgomery County seems to be in the clear for Tropical Storm Ida, now is a good time to get prepared and ready as we enter into September and the busiest portion of Hurricane Season.

Montgomery County agencies and resources are monitoring the situation and are prepared to take action as needed. The Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will continue to monitor these storms. This will be the last update from the Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management regarding Tropical Storm Ida unless conditions change.
