Here’s a quick update on the forecast for tonight. Thunderstorms remain possible for parts of the region from this evening into Tuesday morning as a cold front approaches from the north. Some of the thunderstorms may be strong to severe and capable of large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rainfall. Areas north of a Brenham to Groveton line have the best potential to see severe weather and/or locally heavy rain during this time.
There is the potential for thunderstorms to develop into a larger complex later tonight and move south towards the Gulf, with best rain chances occurring west of the Brazos River if this happens. We have also included an updated outlook for river flooding for concerned parties.

Strong to Severe Thunderstorms to Develop Late Tonight through Tuesday Morning
Timing and Overview:
A cold front currently pushing through North Texas is expected to stall across Central Texas this evening. As this boundary stalls, shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to increase in coverage and push farther south into South Texas. These storms are expected to move into an environment more conducive for the development of isolated strong to severe thunderstorms. At this time, the biggest threats these storms may produce are strong damaging winds and large hail greater than 1 inch. However, isolated tornadoes can not be ruled out. We anticipate that shower and thunderstorm activity will enter South Texas roughly after midnight across the northern areas of South Texas, including the cities of Cotulla, Beeville and Victoria, and then move slowly southward Tuesday morning across areas from near Laredo to the Texas coast. There still remains uncertainty with regard to the timing and position of shower and thunderstorm activity this evening through Tuesday morning.
South Texas Impacts:
Winds: 60+ mph
Hail: Large hail 1+ inch
Tornadoes: Isolated tornadoes possible, although main concerns are the wind and hail threat.

Some of the thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening may be strong to severe, with the main thunderstorm threat transitioning to locally heavy rain Monday night. Areas north of a Brenham to Groveton line have the best potential to see severe weather and/or locally heavy rain during this time.
Forecast confidence for Monday night is low as what happens Monday afternoon and evening will play a direct role in how thunderstorms behave Monday night.

Mostly clear skies this evening with moisture and clouds increasing late tonight. Overnight lows will be in the mid 50s across the Hill Country and upper 50s across the rest of the area. Pleasant temperatures and dry weather can be expected through the upcoming weekend across south central Texas. More clouds will build in by Sunday. The next chance of rain and thunderstorms arrives on Monday and Tuesday as an upper level storm system and cold front move across Texas. Periods of heavy rainfall leading to localized flash flooding could be possible Monday night into early Tuesday morning.
A pattern change is afoot early next week as a front stalls over the region. With moist Gulf air in place and a weak disturbance passing across central and north Texas, a heavy rainfall risk will develop Monday afternoon and end Tuesday morning. Monday night looks to have the best heavy rainfall signal at this time. 1-3 inches with locally higher amounts will be possible over the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor.
