FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS

FORECAST

Today’s weather forecast includes the possibility of a stray downpour, particularly for areas west of I-35. Recent rainfall has been beneficial for some regions, with the Hill Country experiencing over an inch of rain yesterday. The weather system that triggered those storms is moving westward but might still bring a few isolated showers or storms to western areas today.

Looking ahead to the middle of the week, South Texas will experience a shift to dry weather on Wednesday and Thursday. However, residents should expect a haze in the sky due to a light layer of Saharan dust moving into the area. Fortunately, the concentration of this dust is expected to be low, so it shouldn’t have a significant impact on health or visibility.

As we approach the weekend, expect a significant shift in weather conditions. A surge of Gulf moisture is forecasted to arrive late Friday into Saturday, which could result in scattered downpours across the area. There’s a 40% chance of rain on Saturday afternoon, so while it may not rain all day, any rain that does develop could lead to some impressive downpours.
