Houston Braces for 2-8 Inches of Rain as Flood Watch Runs Through Wednesday

Summary
Houston faces repeated downpours through midweek, with most areas expected to get 2 to 3 inches of rain and some spots nearing 8 inches, raising the risk of street flooding.
A low-pressure system moving through Mexico is pulling deep tropical moisture into southeast Texas, and that moisture will collide Monday through Wednesday with a slow-moving cold front.
Monday's rain is expected to build from spotty morning showers into afternoon and nighttime waves of storms moving southwest to northeast, with rain chances lasting into late week.
The setup fits a broader South-wide flash flood threat that has put Houston under a Level 2 risk, while forecasters expect drier but hotter and more humid weather by the weekend.
