A weak coastal trough will continue to move closer to the Coastal Bend from the Gulf of Mexico and result in some moderate to heavy rain for this evening and going into the end of the week as well.
Some of the rainfall may become heavy at times and with rain staying in the forecast for the next several days, there will be some accumulations that go around 2-4+ inches by the time we go into next week. Even so, there is more expected next week as our damp weather pattern is in no rush to get out of here.
Tonight temperatures will moderate in the middle 60s with light rain and mist that will turn into periods of moderate to heavy rain at times. Wind: NNE 6-12MPH
Friday we’ll see some pockets of heavy rain to start the day that will taper in the early afternoon and then pick up again late in the afternoon and evening. Some local high school football games may be impacted by the dreary weather. Highs will jump back up to the lower 70s, but remain well below average.
Rain chances stay with us going into the weekend, even for the start of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk early Saturday morning where some light mist and drizzle may impact participants. The rain may begin to pick up by noon and the rest of Saturday. A weak front will sweep just north of the Coastal Bend and high pressure will sink in on Sunday and may temporarily push the rainfall to the south of us, but it’ll remain cloudy.
Another surge of moisture that will lead to some pockets of heavy to moderate rain will move through on Monday. With some of that extra cooler air in place from the high pressure moving in on Sunday, highs will only achieve the mid-60s for highs.
Residents are urged to use caution on the roads and be mindful that localized flash flooding may be possible with the heavier rain bands over the next several days.
The pattern looks to clean up very little by the middle and end of next week. Rain chances taper off some, not completely, as the clouds hold strong. Highs will get milder in the upper 70s.
