Houston weather forecast: Heavy rain this week

Today is a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day. Expect rounds of heavy rain with some isolated areas of flooding possible. Highs in the mid 80s.

HOUSTON - Today, Wednesday and Thursday are all FOX 26 Storm Alert Days. The primary threat will be heavy rain.

On Monday, some downpours dropped up to 5" of rain, but some areas received none.

Today will be similar with about an 80-90% chance for rain in any given spot, but also the chance for up to 5" again. So be careful on the roads.

Our wet pattern should remain in place through the end of the week, so flooding will become a bigger concern as the days go by.

One good side effect of the rain is that high temperatures will remain in the mid 80s.
