Houston weather: Rain chances to return on Wednesday

Storm chances increase beginning Wednesday and continue through Friday as a front approaches. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms, with the best chances for more widespread rain Thursday into Friday. There is a chance of afternoon and evening storms Wednesday as well, but models are mixed, so confidence is lower. We are under a low 1 out of 5 risk for storms Wednesday that could produce some high winds and larger hail. Stay alert and keep checking back for updates.
