Weekend rain chances for Houston
Big picture view:
The weak tropical low in the Gulf will bring showers and some downpours to the Houston area through the weekend.
A broad area of low pressure will bring occasional rounds of rain with 1-2″ in a few spots, but storms should be moving along, so big accumulations aren’t expected. That being said, some localized street flooding is possible over the next 36 hours or so.
