Houston-area weather: Changes on the way, rain chances increasing

The weather the last few days has been exquisite with lower humidity, cooler temperatures and lots of sunshine. Some changes are on the way for the rest of the week as our winds shift from north to south and heat and humidity build. Hottest days will be Thursday and Friday as we soar into the middle 80s. Rain chances will be steadily increasing Tuesday through Thursday with the best chance for rain and storms with a cold front Friday afternoon and evening. That front will usher in another dose of cooler air just in time for the weekend.
