AUSTIN, Texas – Today we will end the two-week dry spell and the nine-day warm streak.<\/p>\n

An upper low is moving in from West Texas and tapping into the leftover moisture from Tropical Storm Vance.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Timeline:<\/p>\n

This low will squeeze out the moisture into on and off rain for the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Scattered showers likely today until late afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We will get a break tonight before the rain increases in coverage and intensity on Friday.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

All areas will get rain with the highest totals over the Hill Country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Most of the area will get half to one inch of rain with slightly higher totals west of Austin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The flooding risk will be the highest over West Texas where they could get 2 to 5″ of rain.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Why you should care:<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Not expecting severe weather or flooding, but keep the umbrella handy and use extra caution on the wet roads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The next game-changer will be a cold front arriving on Election day bringing another round of rain and storms followed by some Autumn chill.<\/p>\n
