ELEVATED FLOOD POTENTIAL ⛈️ A Flood Watch is in effect for most of South and Southeast Texas until Tuesday. Downpours will be capable of very heavy rain! Keep in mind, this month marks one year since the Perrin Beitel floods in SA. High water can happen fast in summer. #txwx

The combination of cooler drier air colliding with a tropical low off the Texas coast will create an unsettled pattern Monday - Thursday this week. Mostly for Central, South, and especially Southeast Texas. Don't drive through flooded roadways! #txwx

FLOOD RISK THIS WEEK 🌧️ While only a 'slight' risk for localized flooding the next few days, please be careful traveling! Roads can flood quickly and rain can lower visibility making it difficult to drive. Expect on and off rounds of rain through Wednesday. #txwx

MORE RAIN ☔ As deep tropical moisture and cooler air from the north collide the next couple of days, this will create numerous showers and heavy downpours moving through South and Southeast Texas. Minor to moderate flooding will be a concern Monday and Tuesday. #txwx

LOW chance for tropical storm development this weekend! However, the moisture will move northward starting on Sunday. This will create scattered rain and tropical downpours around Monday and early Tuesday. Some flooding possible! #txwx

COOLER WITH MORE RAIN? ⛈️👀Next week, the pattern changes and "cooler" air pushes through Texas. Only a few degrees cooler. 80s instead of 90s. However, a front dropping in colliding with tropical humidity will spark some good rain coverage next week. #txwx

GULF TROPICAL LOW? ⛈️ Good news, this will stay weak and has a LOW chance for any tropical development into the weekend. This will be due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristina in the Pacific as it enters the Gulf. #txwx

Remnants of Tropical Storm #Cristina will be watched next week as some of the leftover moisture may drift into the Gulf. Just something to watch in the coming days. Little to no chance for any tropical development next week. #txwx

JUNE HURRICANES? 🌀 Has a hurricane ever hit the US in June? Yes, but it's RARE. Only four US hurricane landfalls have been observed in June. We have had landfalling tropical storms in recent years like Tropical Storm Claudette in June 2021. #txwx

Heaviest rain into the weekend will be 'mostly' east closer to the Houston area! Expect scattered pockets of rain and storms each afternoon and evening. Highest rain either east of west of the I-35 corridor. #txwx

TROPICAL LOW IN THE GULF ⛈️ Good news, this stays disorganized. Wind shear will keep it weak. However, disorganized tropical lows can spread out rain everywhere! Expect clouds and scattered rain with some storms into the weekend. #txwx

HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS ⛈️ Stronger wind shear is forecast to be present across the Atlantic Basin creating a more hostile environment to tropical systems. This is the reason why the forecast is 'below-normal" with 13 named storms expected. #txwx

SCATTERED STORMS THIS WEEK ⛈️ After Wednesday, tropical amounts of moisture will be driving in from the South into the weekend. Add in daytime heat and some lift, this will touch off scattered rain and storms in the area. Not a wash out every day. #txwx

Regardless of the track or tropical development into the first week of June, coastal scattered downpours look likely into the end of next week. A combination of sunshine, clouds and widely scattered tropical showers across South Texas. #txwx

TROPICAL RAINS INTO JUNE? ☔A couple of long-range models keep signaling at something tropical pushing in from the Gulf late next week. HOWEVER, each model takes it somewhere different. One towards Florida. One closer to Louisiana and Texas. Something to watch! #txwx
