A SLOW MOVING FRONT AND INCREASED TROPICAL MOISTURE COMBINATION IS
FORECAST TO BRING HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAINS FOR THE
REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ANOTHER ROUND OF
HEAVY RAINFALL IS FORECAST FOR PORTIONS OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR AND
COASTAL PLAINS BETWEEN MID MORNING TO MID TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE COASTAL PLAINS INTO THE RIO
GRANDE PLAINS THROUGH 7 PM CDT TUESDAY. THE FLOOD WATCH WAS
CANCELED FOR THE HILL COUNTRY, PORTIONS OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR
INCLUDING THE AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO METRO AREAS, AND SOUTHERN
EDWARDS PLATEAU AS THE PROJECTED HEAVY RAINFALL IS TO FALL TO THE
SOUTH OF THESE LOCATIONS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 6 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE ANYWHERE IN THE FLOOD WATCH AREA. WITH RAIN RATES OF 2 TO
3 INCHES PER HOUR WITH A TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE WILL TAKE A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR FLOODING TO OCCUR. STAY WEATHER AWARE AND
AWAY FROM POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY PUSHES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS BY
TUESDAY, HOWEVER, A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST
BETWEEN THE MIDDLE TEXAS COAST AND THE COASTAL PLAINS LIKELY KEEP
THE HEAVY RAINFALL BETWEEN THOSE AREAS. THEREFORE, THE POTENTIAL
FOR LIFE THREATENING FLOODING ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA
CONTINUES. THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED HIGH
MOISTURE LEVELS PUSH TO THE EAST TEXAS COAST AND AWAY FROM OUR
AREA WITH DRY AIRMASS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. THIS SETUP
BRINGS DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE SEABREEZE MOVES TO THE NORTH. RAIN
