There is a big red area (see below) where there will continue to be a threat for flooding rains this afternoon. Rains should wind down after sunset and Sunday and Monday look drier with only a small chance for rain. Rain odds boost back up again Monday night through Wednesday as an upper-level low moves through the area along the southern rim of high pressure. In addition, there will be a cool front that goes stationary in central Texas. We will talk more about that tomorrow.

Please let us know how much rain you have received over the past 24hrs and your location.
