From the NWS: “Very warm and humid with elevated heat indices from today into tonight. A pair of cold fronts to bring increased rain and storm chances mid to late week and cooler temperatures. Isolated strong to severe storms and locally heavy rain remains possible in the days ahead; strongest signal for rainfall occurs early Friday. Drier this weekend with temperatures slowly warming back up into early next week.”

The best chances for 1-3 inches of rain will be along and north of HWY 90 and I-10east. South Texas can expect a quarter to an inch of rain. While everyone is in need of flooding rain totals, every little bit helps. The CPC is forecasting better than 50/50 odds for below normal temperatures and above normal rainfall for the next two weeks, so areas that might not get what they want out of this system will have more opportunities soon. Another positive is that above normal rainfall forecasts for May could mean some big rains, with May being one of our wettest months.
