.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1009 PM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025

A frontal boundary will remain draped across Deep South Texas
through Tuesday maintaining rain and thunderstorm chances across
the region. Overnight tonight, chances of showers and
thunderstorms will be generally 30 to 50% before increasing to 60
to 80% by Tuesday afternoon. PWATs will continue to increase
into Tuesday reaching 2 to 2.3 inches. This moisture load will
increase the threat of locally heavy rainfall with any
precipitation that develops, potentially leading to ponding of
water on roadways and low lying areas. Thunderstorms will also be
capable of producing gusty winds and cloud to ground lightning.

Rain chances taper off Tuesday night/Wednesday morning as high
pressure pushes into Deep South Texas with the front finally moving
south of the region. Rainfall chances Wednesday through Friday will
generally be less than 15% as drier air takes hold.

As we head into the weekend, another cold front moving into central
Texas will lead to moisture pooling and an increased chance of
showers and thunderstorms once again for the weekend into the first
part of next week. Saturday rain chances are 30-50% especially
along and east of US 281. Sunday through Tuesday rain chances
increase 40-60%.

Temperatures will remain near to above normal with heat indices
between 100 and 105 through the forecast period. The heat risk
will remain Minor (level 1 out of 4) to Moderate (level 2 out of
4).
