On Tuesday's show: Heavy rain is expected in Greater Houston this evening through Wednesday resulting from a disturbance near Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula that could become the first named system of the hurricane season. While any storm that comes from it is unlikely to make landfall near us, Houston Chronicle meteorologist Justin Ballard explains how it could bring some heavy rain and possible flooding to our area.
