The focus for heavy rainfall this morning and through the afternoon remains across much of south central, south and parts of southeast Texas. Yesterday’s cold front has stalled across central Texas and will remain a source of lift across the region today. Tomorrow, we’ll begin to see the front lift back off to the north and rain chances will expand north along with it. Rain remains in the forecast on and off through much of the week ahead, but rainfall amounts do not look to be as generous as what we experienced over the past several days.

For today, the potential for very heavy rainfall will once again be focused across south central Texas with an additional 1 to 3 inches expected area wide along with the potential for locally higher 4 to 6+ inch amounts. We’ll likely see a bit of a downward trend in rain this morning, but that will pick up by early afternoon with increased daytime heating. This additional rainfall will be on top of what fell last night across the region, and will only exacerbate ongoing flash flooding issues. Flash Flood Watches remain in effect today across much of south central and south Texas. Previous Flash Flood Watches for counties in north central Texas have been cancelled as the threat for heavy rainfall today will remain well south of the region.

For tonight, rainfall chances should decrease and we’ll see a bit of reprieve from most of the heavy rainfall. The chance for isolated pockets of heavier rain may be present overnight west of the Austin/San Antonio region, but at this time, significant flooding impacts are not expected. Much like what we saw last night, smaller-scale features will drive rainfall chances overnight, so we’ll continue to monitor the short-term forecast today and bring you the latest if any additional threats develop.
