Two rounds of storms are on the way today. ABC 13 Meteorologist Travis Herzog says all the ingredients are coming together for widespread heavy storms today. Scattered heavy downpours blossomed from Houston to Galveston this morning as showers blew in from the Gulf, increasing drive times and generating minor street flooding.

Another round of storms is possible this afternoon as a large disturbance in north Texas moves this way and temperatures warm into the upper 80s.

Travis said any downpours today could dump a quick 1-3 inches of rain. The storms are not expected to be severe, but frequent lightning will produce some loud rumbles around the area.

Rain chances remain consistent for the rest of the week and could spike again this weekend as another rare summer front blows in and stalls out overhead. Most of Houston will get 2-4 inches of rain over the next seven days, while some areas will get more.

The MegaDoppler radar will be on the watch for storms this week.
