The Houston area has been place in what’s called a “mesoscale precipitation discussion” which is essentially an area of specific focus for severe weather, in this case, heavy rainfall and isolated flash flooding.
In short, things are coming together for some much-needed rain across the area. Because of the ongoing drought, flash flooding is not expected to be a widespread problem, but there could be some isolated cases of this if storms train over the same area.
The atmosphere is pretty unstable right now, so keep a watch for any possible changes or warnings.
