Houston weather has been easy this week. A dry start, less humidity, and still some heat to get through before a chance at a front next week. That calm is ending fast. The forecast now points to a sharp transition from dry conditions to moist tropical air, with heavy rain in the forecast Thursday through Saturday.
For Houston homeowners, that switch means one problem. Flooding risk climbs just as memories of past bayou rises are fresh.
