Your Weather Planner
The atmosphere is again loading up with moisture and several upper impulses are expected to move over Texas this weekend. The ingredients are coming together for another heavy rainfall event and possible flash flooding across areas west of I-35 this weekend. Saturday night into Sunday seems to be the time for high vigilance in previously flooded and flood-prone areas, especially in the Hill Country. Clouds and rain will keep temperatures slightly below normal. Rain chances should decline heading into Monday.
