Houston weather: Cooler Monday; chance for storms Tuesday, Wednesday

After seven straight days with highs in the 80s, the pattern has finally broken as the first of a few cold fronts has arrived.

Although no extreme cold is expected, the combination of clouds, rain and shifting winds should bring temperatures closer to normal for February.

Highs will range from near 70 today to near 80 Wednesday and back the 50s by Thursday.

Storm risk Tuesday and early Wednesday

Timeline:

Two rounds of rain are likely – one on Tuesday afternoon and another on Wednesday morning.

Both will bring a few heavy downpours and a strong storm will be possible, especially farther north and northeast of Houston.

By the numbers:

Total rainfall should range from 1-2", but with isolated higher amounts.

Severe weather chance

The highest chance for severe weather will set up over Louisiana and far East Texas, but we will closely watch for any changes.
