DISCUSSION

Issued at 1105 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

Scattered to widespread showers are forecast to continue through Monday morning, with rain chances decreasing through the afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches with isolated pockets up to 4 inches are possible across the area through Monday night. Convective allowing models continue to show a wide range of solutions for where the highest rainfall is likely to occur, though the HRRR has shown the most skill through the event thus far, and continues to depict the highest concentration and intensity of showers east of I-69C. Estimated and measured rainfall accumulations of 1-2 inches with pockets of 4-5 inches across the coastal counties Sunday has saturated the soil leaving much of the area more susceptible to flooding with additional rainfall. Even with the lower rainfall amounts forecast Monday, additional flooding will remain possible, especially across areas that received heavy rainfall on Sunday. Daily low to moderate rain chances are forecast to linger through Thursday.

A Flood Advisory remains in effect for the Los Olmos Creek near Falfurrias in Brooks County. Due to heavy rainfall upstream in the CRP CWA, the creek is forecast to crest at action stage, just below minor flood stage, tonight.
