Houston's Rainy Week: Widespread Showers with Uncertain Flood Risk

Houston picked up about 1–2 inches of rain today, with isolated spots near Inwood Forest measuring up to 4 inches; radar is quiet for now. Tuesday is expected to bring more showers, roughly 1–2 inches, with a similar pattern. A Gulf system could raise rain chances later in the week, and some models show potential heavy rainfall through Thursday, though forecast confidence is low due to track uncertainty. The flood alert remains at Stage 2 with a possible escalation to Stage 3 if trends worsen. This isn’t Harvey—it’s a different setup, but a real flood risk exists in the second half of the week; more clarity is expected in tomorrow’s update.
