It’s been a rowdy night with thunderstorms across a few regions of Texas. Golfball to hen-egg size hail fell in Poteet, about 30 miles south of San Antonio. We’ve had over five to eight inches of rain in portions of South Central Texas, northeast through the southern Brazos Valley, Coastal Plains, Southeast Texas, and up into the Ark-La-Tex since Monday.
Observed rainfall from 5 AM Tuesday through 5 AM Wednesday across Texas. The highest totals, 3 to 8 inches, have been from near San Antonio northeast through the Coastal Plains, Brazos Valley, and across the eastern third of Texas.
Thunderstorms with heavy rain continue this morning, with several flash flood warnings in effect. Please be mindful of high water on roads, along with fast-running streams and creeks. You can check on road closures due to high water at DriveTexas.org.
The highest chance for showers and thunderstorms through early afternoon will be in the Coastal Plains, Brazos Valley, Southeast Texas, and the Golden Triangle. The most intense activity is producing rainfall rates exceeding two inches per hour. Additional flooding is probable. The heaviest rains will enter Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico by early afternoon. We may get a lull, with only fog and lighter rains this afternoon in Texas.
This evening, another round of thunderstorms will fire up in northern Mexico and move east into the Edwards Plateau. That activity will follow a trajectory east across South-Central Texas, the San Antonio metro, east across the Brazos Valley, Southeast Texas, the Houston Metro, and into the Golden Triangle Thursday morning. We’ll probably see some renewed flooding since soils are saturated in those regions. Precipitation chances decrease state-wide by Thursday afternoon.
Friday into Saturday morning, a cool front will bring scattered showers and perhaps some thunderstorms to the Texas Panhandle, Northwest Texas, Texoma, and the Ark-La-Tex. Unlike the last few days, we expect a lower rain coverage with Friday’s cool front. In addition to lower rain coverage, this cool front won’t emulate the arctic fronts last week. It’ll cool off, but we’re not looking at another major cool-down. Rain chances should conclude by Saturday afternoon. Dry weather should ensue for several days after that.

Oh, it certainly isn’t. We’ve still got to get through February and March. We may have ‘false spring’, but it’s 40 below in Fairbanks. That brutally cold airmass will eventually dislodge south. It sure won’t be that cold down here, but we’ll get a return of winter at some point. ~David
Texas Storm Chasers can you tell if we are looking at another hard freeze? south of dfw
Naython Allison it’s only 5 minutes remember
Texas Storm Chasers it’s never cold in march in Texas most times spring break is at Galveston lol
Texas Storm Chasers we always do
Naython Allison We usually get a cold snap around Easter. Old timers say when the mesquites start leafing out, we’re done with hard freezes. I’ve lived here my whole life and that’s pretty accurate.
