Another round of scattered showers and storms is possible today and again Saturday as deep tropical moisture remains in place over Southeast Texas. Not everyone will see rain the entire time, but the strongest downpours could briefly produce heavy rain, lightning, gusty winds, and quick street flooding.

Scattered showers and storms remain likely today across Southeast Texas thanks to an uncapped atmosphere and very high moisture levels. Most areas will see rain, and a few stronger downpours could produce heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds. Rain totals could exceed 3” in spots.

We're going into the weekend with continued rain chances. There will still be breaks in between, but pockets of heavy rain could lead to brief, isolated street flooding.

We'll have some scattered, isolated showers for Thursday with more heavy downpours likely in the afternoon. Overall, the day will be warm with highs in the 80s. Expect more rounds of rain on Friday.

The rest of the week will be warm and humid across the Houston area with highs in the middle to upper 80s. Please take it easy in the heat and drink plenty of water. Tropical moisture along with a stalled front will keep scattered storms in the forecast.  Isolated street flooding is possible as most of southeast Texas is under a 1 out of 4 risk for flooding.

As we move into Wednesday afternoon, the chance of scattered thunderstorms increases. There are no immediate tropical concerns for Houston.

Storm chances are on the increase the next few days and big rain chances last through at least Saturday as a weak front blends with tropical moisture over Southeast Texas. Scattered showers and storms become more common through the week, and some could be heavy at times. Biggest chance for widespread rain will be Friday and Saturday. Keep the rain gear close by as many areas will pick up an additional 1-3" of rain by the end of the week.
