WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS:

  • – Spotty rain, a few storms possible Sunday evening, especially for those along/north of Hwy 90
  • – Scattered, daily rain chances return this week as an active weather pattern takes over
  • – Most areas will pick up at least an inch over the next week, with pockets of 2 to 4 inches possible
  • – Cooler temperatures are in the forecast as a result, with highs contained to the 80s starting Tuesday

FORECAST DETAILS:

Hope you’ve had a great weekend!

Spotty showers and a few storms have developed across portions of the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau Sunday afternoon, and will continue to drift south into the early evening.

It won’t be for everyone as the better chances of tapping into some of this rain reside in areas along and north of Highway 90, but for those that do, pockets of heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and perhaps some gusty winds will be possible.

High pressure moves west in the days ahead, allowing for an atypical, active weather pattern to take over for this last full week of July.

Daily, scattered rain chances return to the forecast starting Monday afternoon, and will likely last through at least Thursday. Some spotty, lingering rain chances could continue into next weekend as well.

Scattered rain chances are in store for much of the upcoming week

In terms of rain totals, it’s still looking like most areas will pick up on at least an inch of rain, with pockets of 2 to 4 inches certainly possible over the next seven days. It won’t be continuously raining at your house all day, every day, but for those that do find some heavier downpours, a few instances of minor flooding may need to be monitored at times, especially in those common trouble spots/poor drainage areas.

An added plus to this optimistic rainfall outlook? Cooler temperatures! Added cloud cover and rain-cooled air will likely contain highs to the 80s starting Tuesday. Can’t complain for the end of July!

We’ll keep you posted on any adjustments in the days ahead, but plan to keep the umbrella nearby this week!

Have a great evening. ~ Mia
