CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Beneficial rainfall continues to move into South Texas as upper-level high pressure has moved out to the Desert Southwest, leaving us open to Gulf moisture to bring daily rain chances to the area.
Our latest weak disturbance that developed near the coast yesterday has already moved west of us, and that is where most of the heavy rain will fall today.
However, we still have enough moisture in our atmosphere that a few showers and storms are firing off this morning and a few of them have heavy downpours associated with them.
Today, tomorrow and Friday we'll continue to hold on to isolated to scattered showers and storms.
The more widespread and numerous rain will arrive this Saturday and last through early next week into the Labor Day holiday weekend. Widespread 2-4" totals will be possible. That much rain will cause some localized flash flooding in the region. Residents are urged to use caution on the roads and be on the lookout for ponding.
