Break out the umbrellas, Houston

By the numbers: Forecasters say showers could dump up to 2 inches of rain Monday.

• NWS meteorologists in Houston predict up to 7 inches will fall in total through Friday.
• Ponding and street flooding are possible, but breaks in the rain could avert major flooding, forecasters said.

The intrigue: Harris County in 2023 saw 8 fewer inches of rain than in the average year, per drought.gov.

• That lack of rain helped fuel a drought last year, which prompted the City of Houston to enact water restrictions.
• The city has since rescinded the restrictions, and Harris County is no longer in a drought.

Meanwhile, temperatures will remain stagnant with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s and 50s.

What's next: Chances of rain persist through at least Friday.
