With increased tropical moisture in the region and a frontal system approaching the area this weekend, South Texas is in for a rainier week. These are the latest forecast rainfall amounts through Friday. While not everyone will see exactly these values, these tropical downpours are capable of producing rainfall on the high-end of the forecast. Where a storm moves over, visibility will quickly drop along with ponding/flash flooding. Make sure to remember when you come across a flooded road: Turn Around, Don't Drown!

🌀 TROPICAL UPDATE: MONITORING THE GULF FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Forecast models continue to suggest that an area of disturbed weather could develop in the Bay of Campeche this weekend into early next week. While some tropical development remains possible, the overall signal continues to favor a weak and disorganized system.

📌 What We Know
• Development chances remain relatively low.
• Most forecast guidance keeps any low-pressure area weak.
• The greatest impact may be an increase in tropical moisture rather than a named storm.
• Current ensemble guidance shows little indication of a significant tropical cyclone.

🌧️ Potential Impacts
• Tropical moisture may spread northward into Texas and portions of the western Gulf Coast next week.
• Rain and thunderstorm coverage could increase across the region.
• Locally heavy rainfall may be possible in areas that experience repeated rounds of storms.

❓ What We Don’t Know Yet
• Whether a closed low-pressure center will actually form.
• How far north the deepest tropical moisture will reach.
• Which locations could receive the heaviest rainfall.

⚠️ Bottom Line
This is a situation worth monitoring, but there is currently no indication of a significant tropical cyclone threat. There is still plenty of uncertainty, and it remains too early to discuss specific impacts. We’ll continue tracking the latest data and provide updates as new information becomes available.

Stay tuned and follow for the latest Gulf Coast weather updates.
