Storm Alerts, Cougars Clinch, and Major Exhibit Debuts in Houston

Storm Alert as Heavy Rain Moves In

Houston is under a storm alert heading into the weekend, with forecasters warning of periods of heavy rain and possible localized flooding. Conditions are expected to stay warm and humid, with temperatures climbing into the 80s before storms roll through.

Drivers are urged to use caution on area roadways, especially in low-lying spots that tend to flood quickly. With major events underway across the city, including rodeo activities, officials are encouraging residents to monitor changing weather conditions and allow extra travel time.

Cougars Rally, Lock In Big 12 Tournament Edge

The University of Houston men’s basketball team delivered a strong second-half comeback Saturday, defeating Oklahoma State 82-75 on the road.

The win secures the Cougars the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament and a direct path into the quarterfinal round. After trailing by double digits in the first half, Houston surged back behind sharp perimeter shooting and balanced scoring.

With postseason play around the corner, the team continues to build momentum at just the right time.

New Cancer Exhibition Opens at The Health Museum

A major new science exhibition opened Saturday at The Health Museum in the Museum District. The 5,000-square-foot experience explores the causes of cancer, cutting-edge research, and emerging treatments.

Designed for both adults and children, the exhibit features interactive displays, multimedia storytelling, and personal accounts aimed at educating and empowering visitors. The exhibition will remain in Houston through mid-September, offering families and school groups an in-depth look at one of medicine’s most critical fields of research.

It marks a significant cultural and educational addition to the city’s spring lineup.
