Around 12:10 p.m., Doppler weather radar detected heavy rainfall from thunderstorms soaking areas that have already recorded up to 2 inches of rain.

Severe weather moving across the Houston area could impact your flight. Here's how to check flight status, delays and cancellations at Bush Airport and Hobby Airport.

Hurricane Erin: Heavy rainfall is expected across parts of Hispaniola, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas, particularly east of San Salvador Island on Tuesday.

A weak cold front and numerous storms could mean Houston metro area temperatures stay cooler than 90 degrees for the first time since June.

Our overall weather pattern is unchanged compared to the last few days, so expect more rounds of mostly afternoon and evening storms to move in from the north today and tomorrow.

Hurricane Erin continues to bring coastal hazards for the east Coast. There are coastal flood alerts from Florida through Long Island and Tropical Storm Warnings from coastal North Carolina through New Jersey. Life-threatening rip currents are a major concern along the beaches of the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda throughout the rest of the week.

Houston starts Tuesday mostly dry, but a few isolated showers or thunderstorms could pop up through the day. Threats are low today, but heavier downpours and more widespread storms are expected later this week. Severe weather is not the main concern — instead, the focus will be on heavy rain, gusty winds, and localized flooding by midweek.

We want to hear from New Orleanians who evacuated for Hurricane Katrina and built new lives in Houston. Please share your story of resettlement with us.
