Listen Later

Good morning, Houston! I'm Morgan Riley, and this is your Houston News Update for Tuesday, June 10th, 2025.

The word on the streets of Houston today is all about recovery after yesterday's stormy weather. Many of you faced a messy morning commute on Monday as storms moved through Southeast Texas, causing delays and flooding in some areas. City crews have been working overnight to clear drainage systems and repair any damage from the weather system that passed through.

In transportation news, part of the West Loop feeder northbound remains closed for emergency repairs that began yesterday. Commuters should plan alternate routes as work continues today. Officials haven't provided a timeline for completion, but engineers are on site assessing the structural concerns that prompted these urgent repairs.

A surprising topic making headlines - Houston's juvenile curfew. Did you know our city has had a curfew for juveniles? Many residents had no idea. The enforcement has been complicated by Texas state law, which restricts how local municipalities can implement these measures. This comes as city officials continue searching for solutions to address youth-related incidents, particularly during summer months when school is out.

On the public safety front, the Houston Police Department released their weekly crime report covering June 1st through 7th. While specific statistics weren't made available, authorities continue to encourage residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity as part of ongoing community safety efforts.

Looking to our forecast today - after yesterday's storms, we're expecting clearer conditions with temperatures reaching the upper 80s. The humidity will remain high, so stay hydrated if you're heading outdoors.

For community events, the Houston Parks Department is hosting their summer kickoff celebration this weekend at multiple locations throughout the city. Free swimming lessons, outdoor movie screenings, and food trucks will be available for families looking to enjoy the improving weather.

As our city continues to navigate growth and change, these daily challenges - from weather events to infrastructure repairs - remind us that Houston's strength has always been in its resilient community spirit. Through storms both literal and figurative, we continue to move forward together.
