Plenty of moisture in the area combined with a lingering frontal boundary will keep rain chances in South Texas through the overnight hours. High temperatures, as a result, will be slightly-below to near-normal today. We keep the rain chances in the forecast through Tue.

[NWS Corpus Christi @NWSCorpus]

Here's a look at rainfall totals for Thursday. Most areas received more than an inch or rain, with a few locations seeing greater than 4". Far western areas saw lower amounts, but everyone will see the chance for more through the weekend.

As we prep for potential storms this hurricane season, remember driving through flooded roads is dangerous. Just 12 inches of water can sweep away a car, and 6 inches can knock over and carry away an adult. #TurnAroundDontDrown #CorpusChristi #HurricaneSeason #BeReadyCC

Stay safe during a hurricane! Protect yourself from high winds by taking refuge in a designated storm shelter or an interior room. If flooded, go to the highest level. Avoid closed attics. Learn more at https://t.co/MDqFVW7jbT. #CorpusChristi #HurricaneSeason #BeReadyCC
