Good morning,

Overview

Rain chances will increase Thursday into Thursday night as a low pressure system moves across the upper Texas coast. There is a limited potential for wintry weather?over the Piney Woods region?early Thursday morning.?Expect high rain chances late Thursday as the low moves along our coastal waters. Rain will? taper off Friday morning as the low exits to our east. A colder airmass will filter across Southeast TX in the wake of the low and may result in below freezing temperatures Saturday morning for most of the local area.??

Upcoming Rain Chances & Excessive Rainfall Outlook

• A low?pressure system is forecast to develop off the mid/south Texas coast late today and then track across the upper Texas?coastal?waters on Thursday.?Look for precipitation to overspread the area Thursday morning into Friday morning as this occurs. Rainfall can be moderate to heavy at times and could lead to minor flooding in streets and low lying?areas. It may also result in minor rises in creeks and bayous.

Winter Weather

• There is still some potential for wintry weather early Thursday morning, mainly over the Piney Woods area. However, the onset of the rainfall may not occur until around sunrise Thursday and temperatures by then may?be warm?enough to suppress the development of wintry?precipitation.?
• Bottom line: Although the chance of wintry precipitation has decreased, there is still?a non-zero chance for portions of the Piney Woods.
