A chance for rain in south Texas and the coastal plains.

1-13-25. 1:30pm. This update is brought to you by Dietz-McLean Optical. www.dmoptical.com

Just as it looked like this was going to be a “cruise control” week weather wise, today’s models are forecasting a weak, inverted trough to move into south Texas from Mexico on Tuesday night and Wednesday. While not drought busting totals, south Texas, the coast and coastal plains could see a quarter to a half an inch of rain by Thursday…some nice bonus rain! A few locations in the southern counties of south-central Texas may also see some rain.

As far as our upcoming arctic outbreak, fortunately, most of the models are tempering the temperatures a bit, with only the Canadian model forecasting a multi-day under freezing event. That doesn’t mean we won’t see cold weather; hard freezes are still in store and the models still have several days to change their minds!

Our prayers go out to southern California where they can’t seem to catch a break in the weather…current wind gusts are over 40mph in the mountains this morning.
