Tropical moisture has moved into South Texas and will bring about the chance for scattered downpours through Saturday afternoon. Some areas could pick up a quick 1 to 2 inches of rain, so some localized flooding can\u2019t be ruled out. DFW remains under a heat advisory through tomorrow evening as heat index values could approach 110 degrees. Heat lingers through the weekend statewide.<\/p>\n
