ABC13 Weather Watch: Bertha, now a Tropical Depression, brings scattered downpours to SE Texas

Summary by The Woodlands Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Travis Herzog, ABC13 Houston · July 23, 2026 · 1 min read

An ABC13 Weather Watch continues today as Bertha brings scattered downpours and gusty winds to parts of Southeast Texas.

Why this matters in The Woodlands

The Woodlands residents who follow national politics may be interested in the Supreme Court's decision to allow Alabama to use a congressional map favoring Republicans, as it could have implications for the balance of power in Congress. Given that The Woodlands is part of the greater Houston area, which is a significant demographic and economic force in Texas, the potential shift in congressional representation could impact the region's influence on national policy. The Woodlands Township and its residents may want to pay attention to how this decision affects the broader conversation about voting rights and representation, particularly in the context of Texas's own complex history with redistricting and voting laws. As the region continues to grow and diversify, understanding the national trends and court decisions that shape voting rights will be crucial for local voters and community leaders.
