heavyrainA powerful upper level storm will move across northern Mexico towards the Big Bend Tuesday, then across west central Texas on Wednesday. As the storm system approaches, copious amounts of moisture will be pulled northwestward into the region. The strong lift associated with the system, combined with the moisture, will result in widespread rainfall across west central Texas from Tuesday through Wednesday evening with the heaviest rainfall expected Tuesday night.

Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected, with isolated higher totals of greater than 3 inches possible. This may result in localized flooding, especially in urban and other poor drainage areas. While isolated to scattered thunderstorms are also expected, only isolated occurrences of marginally severe hail are expected in west central Texas.
