This is just the Beginning!

It has been a messy and chilly day area wide today with fog, drizzle, and light to moderate rain showers moving through all day. We have officially picked up 0.25 inches of rainfall, so far, at Camp Mabry. Don't let your guard down! The main event is yet to come. As a strong upper level low pressure system continues moving east towards Central Texas out of Mexico, a surface low and its attendant warm front will blow through the area overnight tonight. As that warm front and low pressure system move through heavy rounds of showers and storms will move through the area overnight tonight. Isolated severe weather is possible in the form of damaging winds or isolated tornadoes. Some small to medium sized hail cannot be ruled out.

Latest high resolution forecast model continues to indicate a widespread 2-3 inches of rainfall across the area; 4-6 inches possible along and east of Interstate 35.



The Storm Prediction Center is monitoring southwest Texas for the possible issuance of a severe thunderstorm watch...storms in that area may be capable of producing small to medium sized hail and gusty winds.



Visible satellite imagery showing lots of thunderstorm development across Mexico and Texas...those storms will be heading our way later this evening into the overnight hours!
