Atypical August weather will continue this week – and it looks like into next week as well. We’re starting off the day with rain southeast of a stationary front located from near Del Rio northeast to D/FW, to Paris. Drier air northwest of the front has resulted in a mostly clear night. Southeast of the front the rain is underway once again with plenty of moisture in place. Rain chances will continue through the day with a decrease for tonight. Some locally heavy rain is possible with a few flooding issues across South-Central and Southeast Texas.

High temperatures will be warmer today west of the frontal boundary where sunshine will help warm things back up into the 90s. Near and southeast of the front temperatures will be held back by clouds and rain chances. High temperatures will only top out in the 80s near and east of Interstate 35. As said above rain chances will tend to decrease tonight, but not drop down to zero.

A flash flood watch remains in effect for South-Central Texas, Southeast Texas, and the Middle Texas Coast through tonight. Widespread flooding is not expected but locally heavy rains could cause problems. Any training storms would enhance the potential for flash flooding and higher rain totals today.

A slow warmup is expected this week but a return to summer-like weather is not forecast. Isolated to scattered rain chances will continue for much of the week. Another cold front will approach the state by the weekend with an increase in rain chances.
