Afternoon Rain Chances

Visible satellite shows increasing cumulus development across South Texas, the Coastal Plains, and Southeast Texas. We already have a few showers and storms underway off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. As the atmosphere heats up more this afternoon we’ll see isolated to scattered showers in the aforementioned regions. Nos evere weather is expected but any summer storm in Texas can be a prolific lightning producer. If you hear thunder you’re close enough to be struck by lightning. If thunder roars go indoors and if you see lightning move indoors. Any one shower/storm will only last an hour at most with brief rain and potential gusty winds.

Weekend Rain Chances

Similar temperatures are forecast for your Saturday, although we may be able to keep out of the triple digits. The chance for showers and thunderstorms increases from Southeast Texas extending southwest into the Coastal Plains and South Texas. Up to half of y’all may end up getting rained on tomorrow. Otherwise it’ll be mostly cloudy yet warm. Isolated showers and storms will be possible across the Brazos Valley, East Texas, and the Hill Country. Isolated storms will also be possible tomorrow in the Texas Panhandle with less than a third of folks getting a shower. Outside of precipitation chances tomorrow temperatures will top out in the middle to upper 90s. Things will be a bit cooler in the Hill Country thanks to the widespread clouds. If you’re lucky enough to get a shower in your area tomorrow temperatures should drop off into the lower 80s – although the increased humidity will put a damper on the cooler temps. Isolated showers and storms will be possible across all of Texas on Sunday – but at this point we’re broadstrocking a 20 to 30 percent chance of precipitation. That means most folks will be dry and if you end up under a shower/storm it won’t last more than an hour most likely.
