The Weather Prediction Center has the heaviest rain in our eastern counties points east with a weekend storm system on the way. It's actually two separate disturbances, one Saturday and one Sunday, that will bring us the rain. Sunday's is more potent. #atx#atxwx#txwx
Expect a cool and rainy weekend. Heaviest rains will be to southwest of our area with flooding possible in the Rio Grande Valley. Expectations of about 1/2" to 1" for us.
Cooler temperatures along with widespread rain are expected this evening through Monday. Locally heavy rainfall could lead to some isolated flooding, but rainfall rates should remain low enough to limit overall flooding potential.
Central Texas is currently experiencing Level 1 to 2 drought conditions, but the wetter-than-normal winter outlook could bring some much-needed rain and help ease the drought. #txwx
Breezy conditions with cooler temps today. Highs in the mid 70s. This weekend shaping up to be even cooler with increasing rain chances. Heaviest rains currently forecast to stay to our south.
Today will be and sunny day. Temps will be warmer with highs mid 70s to mid 80s. Rain chances over the weekend have increased and widespread rain likely. Temps will be cooler over the weekend and then warm slowly into next week. Mainly dry weather for the first part of next week.
