DISCUSSION

Issued at 130 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Much needed rain continues to accumulate across South Texas on this Easter Sunday. Storm total estimates from radar are generally ranging from around 0.50" across portions of the Victoria Crossroads to near 3" over the Brush Country, with localized amounts up to near 5" near Three Rivers. Although cannot rule out an isolated rumble of thunder this afternoon, most of the rain will be stratiform through Monday morning. Rain chances will however begin to decrease through the late afternoon into the overnight hours as the disturbance continues to drift away into the Gulf waters and the atmosphere stabilizes. Latest CAM runs indicate a few more rounds of light stratiform rain through Monday morning, but the general trend is to begin to dry out with additional accumulations remaining less than a 0.25". The rest of the week is shaping to be drier, but slight rain and thunderstorm chances return by late week into the weekend as another shortwave tracks aloft.

Below normal temperatures continue through Tuesday. Onshore flow resumes Tuesday night allowing for moisture return into the region and leading to a warming trend through the rest of the week with well above normal temperatures again by next weekend. Aside from patchy light fog tonight, no other hazards are forecast at this time.
