5-Day Outlook

Today

3 to 6 inches of rainfall have already fallen over portions of Deep South Texas over the past 48 hours. Additional rainfall is expected through the weekend. Due to the soil already being saturated, there could be areas of isolated to scattered flash flooding in areas that receive heavier rainfall.

Scattered flash flooding is possible on Saturday across Deep South Texas as the entire area is under a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 4) for excessive rainfall. Meanwhile, on Sunday, there is a Marginal of Isolated Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall for areas east of IH-69C/US-281. High atmospheric moisture content combined with multiple showers and thunderstorms tracking over an already saturated ground could lead to instances of flash flooding over the weekend, especially Saturday. Rainfall rates will be key!

As our active weather pattern looks to resume over the weekend, strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday. The best timing for thunderstorm development will be between Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. The greatest coverage looks to be Saturday evening/night. All of Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley are under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe thunderstorms on Saturday. While all modes of severe weather are possible, damaging winds, small hail, lightning, along with heavy rainfall will be the primary threats.

There is a Moderate Risk of rip currents at area beaches today.

There is a medium to high chance of showers and thunderstorms most days through the middle of next week. Locally heavy rainfall is possible across Deep South Texas Saturday and Sunday.

Here are the forecast high temperatures and rain chances for Deep South Texas today.
