Houston weather: Spotty downpours possible on Wednesday

The overall rain outlook this week features a daily round of afternoon showers and storms, but with periods of hot sunshine in between. Our extended models are very mixed with timing and coverage of rain, but spotty afternoon storms make sense in this pattern the next few days. Rainfall totals will likely be a bit higher toward the end of the week and potentially upcoming weekend as a front will move across the region. This could drop temperatures slightly, but overall the heat continues.
