Heavy storms dumped 5-6 inches of rain across west Houston overnight, bringing street flooding and forcing bayous out of their banks. Following a midday break from the rain, more downpours are expected this afternoon.

Deep tropical moisture has combined with a passing disturbance to produce the heavy downpours around Houston. A flash flood watch is also in effect until 8 a.m. Wednesday for parts of southeast Texas.  

Some of the rain could be heavy with street flooding a possibility. Lightning will be a concern with any storm that pops up. Temperatures will warm into the upper 80s. Scattered downpours are also possible Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, especially in the afternoon hours.
