The Brief<\/p>\n

Series of Pacific lows headed for Texas<\/p>\n

Several rounds of rain and storms expected<\/p>\n

No severe weather expected<\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas – The stage is set for a cloudy, soggy and chilly start to the week.<\/p>\n

Timeline<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are tracking a series of Pacific lows that are heading for Texas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each one will provide enough lift to get several rounds of rain and storms today and tomorrow. They won’t provide enough energy to generate severe weather.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rain likely this afternoon and then we will see a lull in the action tonight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second low pressure system arrives on Tuesday giving the area multiple rounds of much needed rain.<\/p>\n

Why you should care<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The marginal risk of flooding will stay closer to San Antonio today and then Central Texas will be in the LEVEL 1 for ponding on roads and minor flooding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the computer weather models show much of the area getting at least half to one inch of rain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some spots could end up seeing 1 to 2″ of rain in the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Use extra caution on the roads because they will very wet for the next few commutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What’s next<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trending drier and warmer by the second half of the week.<\/p>\n
