00:00Heavy rain returned to South Texas over the weekend.
00:03Commuters in Kingsville found themselves navigating flooded roads yesterday as heavy rain drenched the region.
00:08Those downpours will continue through tonight, but thankfully, Jeff, this storm is almost out of here.
00:14Yeah, we're on the back nine here for sure. In fact, the storm's going to be winding down.
00:19As we take a look at where we are right now, we still have widespread rain in the southern half
00:24of Texas.
00:24There are many areas with two to four inches of rain and isolated spots with four or more inches that
00:31we've seen in parts of South Texas.
00:33So I wanted to get this to a loop here and let's take a look at this area of heavy
00:37rain that continues this evening.
00:39But by the time we get to 11 p.m. tonight, really the bulk of the heavy rain will be
00:44done.
00:44We'll have some spotty showers, a couple of localized downpours that will still be a bit heavier near Corpus Christi.
00:49And that might be the one area, the one city in Texas of greater population that kind of gets some
00:55pesky additional downpours through the night.
00:58But as we get deeper into the forecast, here's Tuesday afternoon.
01:01Isolated showers near Idabel, Oklahoma, and some spotty showers in southeast Texas.
01:07Houston will have some spotty showers or storms roll through Tuesday night into Wednesday.
01:11And then a front kind of sweeps the whole area clean nicely into the middle of the week.
01:16And we're going to be dealing with lower dew points, less humidity, and a drier pattern.
01:21But we do have some sogginess that continues localized flooding.
01:24This is bringing some drought relief.
01:25It's a very slow-moving system.
01:27It's been with us for about two and a half days in some form.
01:30And it's not done fully quite yet.
01:32So into tonight, the greatest risk of flooding is running from the Hill Country,
01:36where isolated downpours do continue at areas down near Corpus Christi to Brownsville.
01:41And we had a pretty hard-hit area near Brownsville itself with some spots facing four-plus inches.
01:46You can see that's where the four- to eight-inch zone goes.
01:49And I think Brownsville really is the most populated place within that.
01:52Corpus Christi is kind of on the edge with some areas in town around four inches of rain.
01:57Overnight tonight, the rain lingers.
01:58Austin, Laredo, Corpus Christi.
02:00Showers in the interior.
02:01More persistent rain for a time in Corpus Christi.
02:04And the balance of the day will be quieter in Houston.
02:06There will be a few showers in New Orleans and some fog returns to Lubbock and El Paso.
02:11So Tuesday, here we are with a few lingering showers east and south Texas,
02:15but they won't be as persistent nor as heavy as they had been.
02:18And on Wednesday, just some central and western Gulf Coast showers will be lingering
02:22with drier weather, even a cool-down coming for many of us.
02:26Bye.
