Could more rain hit Texas soon? The National Weather Service (NWS<\/a>) says Tropical Storm Bertha could affect some major local cities on the evening of Thursday, July 23.<\/p>\n

As of 7 a.m., forecasters said the system<\/a> was about 70 miles southeast of Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is continuing on a westbound path across the northern Gulf of Mexico and is expected to approach the Texas coast early this afternoon or this evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The South Central Texas region, which includes San Antonio and Austin, could feel the effects of Bertha’s moisture or remnants. There is a 20% to 50% chance of showers, and the NWS says wind gusts could reach up to 35 mph, though this is more likely in the Coastal Plains.<\/p>\n

San Antonio in particular is looking at a 30% chance of storms hitting between 10 p.m. on Thursday and 4 a.m. on Friday, per the agency’s seven-day forecast<\/a>. Ideally, it will bring a cool down to the area. A heat advisory\u00a0remains in effect through 8 p.m. on Thursday for all of South Central Texas. Temperature highs range from the upper 90s to 100 and 101 along the I-35 corridor.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio area “could get a glancing chance of some spotty tropical downpours, perhaps a storm or two, for locations mainly along and south of the I-10 and US Highway 90 corridor,” the agency wrote in its forecast discussion. However, flash flooding is not a concern at this time. Texans should continue monitoring the weather, as conditions can change quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Rainfall amounts within our region are quite meager, generally of around a quarter-inch or less,” the NWS said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, those in Corpus Christi and Brownsville face the highest risk of receiving the most rain due to Tropical Storm Bertha. Currently, there’s a 30% chance of thunderstorms, mainly after 5 p.m. That number rises to 70% just before 1 a.m. on Friday, July 24. Forecasters say the rain could be heavy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It “may lead to isolated flash flooding, tropical\u00a0storm conditions, and coastal flooding along the Gulf Coast and into\u00a0southern Texas,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The agency’s Corpus Christi office says it expects one to three inches of rain south of a line from Victoria to Laredo tonight. Some smaller areas could see even more, and the NWS warns of a moderate risk of rip currents along Gulf-facing beaches.<\/p>\n

A NOAA-issued Tropical Storm Warning<\/a> remains in effect along the Gulf Coast from Morgan City, Louisiana, to Sargent, Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could more rain hit Texas soon?
