Your Weather Planner
Cloudy skies await you as you step out the door this morning. It’ll be a muggy start as well before temperatures soar back into the 80s across the state. Our primary focus over the next 72 hours remains the potential for excessive rainfall Wednesday night through Thursday night. Much of the state is under a flash food watch. As a result, some areas along I-35 and across the Hill Country could pick up 1-3 inches, or possible isolated amounts up to 6 inches or more. With totals that high, flash flooding would be likely.
