Houston Braces for Dual Flood Threats and Uncertain Heavy Rain This Week
Space City Weather warns Houston faces a real flood risk this week from two threats: today through Tuesday a stalled front could bring 2–4 inches of rain (with isolated 6+ inch bursts), while a slow‑moving tropical disturbance arriving midweek could unleash very heavy rainfall—potentially 20 inches in some areas—though the exact heaviest spots remain uncertain. A Stage 2 flood alert remains in effect, with forecast shifts possible toward Galveston Bay or eastern areas; residents should monitor updates and be prepared for possible significant flooding, especially from Wednesday into Friday, before conditions potentially ease this weekend.
