"Southeast Braces for Multiday Heavy Rain and Flood Threat"

The Houston area is experiencing heavy rainfall with a flood threat through Wednesday, with rainfall totals of 2-3 inches north and west of Houston and over an inch in Houston and eastern cities. The heavy rain is attributed to a strong Pacific jet stream, and models suggest some areas could see 3-7 inches of rain from Monday through Wednesday. The flood threat is expected to mainly affect low-lying areas and feeder roads, with shower chances lingering through the end of the week before a cooler, sunnier weekend.
