Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
A significant rain event will be developing this weekend across portions of the state. The South, South Central, and southern West and Far West zones will have the best opportunities for rain, with some flash flooding possible from near San Antonio to points south and west. Rain chances will continue over the South and South Central zones into Monday. Temperatures today through early next week won’t deviate much from normal for early November, with the cooler exceptions in the areas most impacted by rain. Temperatures are expected to trend a bit warmer into the middle of next week. 60s and 70s for highs with 50s for lows will be most common for the forecast period.
Today:
A mix of clouds and sunshine across Texas this morning. A few spotty rain showers are seen over far South Texas, with rain chances continuing, especially the first half of today. This weekend’s rain event will begin to develop tonight over southern Far West Texas with rain increasing in that part of the state after sunset this evening. Temperatures this afternoon will range from 60s over West Texas to 80s over South Texas and north along and near the Gulf Coast. 70s will be common over the rest of the state.
This Weekend:
Much of Texas will see a significant rain event this weekend, focused especially over South Texas and southern West Texas. The South Central zone, including both San Antonio and Austin, will also be impacted by rain this weekend, favoring especially San Antonio. Some flash flooding is possible from around San Antonio to points both south and west, with multiple inches of rain a good possibility. Saturday’s rain chances will be highest over the southern two-thirds of both the West and Far West zones, as well as portions of the South zone. Scattered precipitation over the South Central zone during the day on Saturday should increase in coverage and intensity Saturday night into Sunday. Sunday is likely to be the wettest day of the period, again impacting southern West Texas as well as the South and South Central zones. Rain should increase eastward into the Coast zone late-Sunday. Temperatures this weekend will mostly be a bit cooler than today with increasing clouds and rain chances. Areas impacted by rain will run cooler than the drier regions.
