Houston weather: Rain chances return starting Wednesday

FEW STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE LATE

Very warm breezy and humid weather continues through Tuesday and Wednesday. A line of strong storms is expected to approach our northern counties tonight from College Station to Huntsville to Livingston. Watch out for brief, strong wind gusts and the threat for brief, heavy rain & hail with these storms. These storms will likely brush our northern counties before weakening & are not expected to reach Houston. A better chance for more widespread storms arrives Wednesday.

BETTER RAIN CHANCES WEDNESDAY, HIGHEST FRIDAY
