Galena Park, TX Weather Forecast
Harris County, Texas
The next few hours
Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this morning
It is 68° with a dew point of 60°, which is noticeable for this time of year. The sky is mostly sunny.
The first rain arrives between 11 AM and noon. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 11 AM, and it closes quickly after that.
Colour and bar height both show how heavy the rain would look on radar. A dotted line means the model has no reading for that hour, which is not the same as no rain.

How well can the network see Galena Park?
The nearest Doppler radar is KHGX (Houston, TX), 21 miles to the SSE. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Galena Park its center is about 1,200 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Galena Park, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Galena Park is closer to its radar than 83% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KHOU · Houston/Hobby Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 7.4 miles away. Near enough to be representative on most days, though a summer thunderstorm can soak one and miss the other entirely.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Texas observing network as of this build.
