Houston faces a stormy week with possible flooding starting on Tuesday, followed by a cold front on Wednesday. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected, with a dry Tuesday morning giving way to a wet and stormy afternoon that could disrupt travel, according to the National Weather Service and  Houston Chronicle.

Northern areas around Houston should be cautious as isolated showers increase through the morning, especially north of Interstate 10, with "Heavier rainfall will develop locally during the afternoon," potentially causing sudden flooding. Areas like The Woodlands and College Station could see over an inch of rain, while central Houston may receive less than an inch. Temperatures in February are slightly above average, with Houston’s yearly average at 54.5°F—just 0.2°F higher than normal, as reported by Houston Chronicle.

A cold front will move through Houston on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain and storms in the morning. "Morning commuters should plan on locally heavy rain and possibly a few strong storms," as stated by Houston Chronicle. The front is expected to pass by midday, dropping temperatures to the mid-40s by Thursday. A slight warm-up may occur over the weekend before another cold front arrives.
