The National Weather Service Brownsville/RGV office announced Monday morning that a flood watch remains in effect for all of South Texas through Wednesday morning.
Meteorologists predicted “numerous flash flood likely Monday and Tuesday,” made possible in part by lingering deep tropical moisture left over from Tropical Storm Cristina, a weak, short-lived system that formed off the Pacific coast of Central America a week ago before heading inland toward Mexico and Texas.
The NWS is forecasting a “Moderate Risk … of excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding.”
“A low pressure (system) over Mexico will slowly move northeast over deep South Texas, interacting with our exceptionally moist atmosphere,” meteorologists said. “This will create a favorable environment for slow moving heavy showers and thunderstorms, with rainfall rates of 3 to 5 inches per hour possible Monday and Tuesday. … If persistent showers with rainfall rates of 5 inches per hour materialize, localized catastrophic flooding cannot be ruled out.”
The NWS predicted rainfall totals of 4-6 inches Monday through Wednesday, with locally higher amounts of 8 inches or more possible in the event of “training” showers/storms (occurring in a series over the same area). Forecasters said “isolated to scattered flash floods” are possible Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Late afternoon and evening Monday, low pressure over the Sierra Madre in Mexico is predicted to move east toward deep South Texas, dragging more tropical moisture with it, with “numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms expected, increasing in coverage from west to east through the evening/night,” the NWS said.
“Rainfall rates of 3-5 inches per hour are possible,” meteorologists said, citing the potential development of “training and slow-moving bands of heavy rain.”
Continued rounds of heavy rainfall are expected Tuesday morning through evening as the low-pressure system moves across deep South Texas, with rain chances decreasing from east to west through the day, forecasters said.
“Flooding impacts continue or worsen where heavy rainfall occurred Monday night,” according to the NWS, which said rain chances are expected to gradually decrease Wednesday and Thursday while remaining elevated along the coast.
“Additional rainfall may aggravate ongoing flooding issues,” meteorologists said. “Flash flooding can develop rapidly, especially in urban, low-lying and poor drainage areas.”
The NWS said 1.5 to 3 inches of rain was most likely Monday, 2-4 inches Tuesday and 0-1.5 inches Wednesday. However, a 10% chance of 2.5 to 4 inches was predicted for Monday, 5-7 inches for Tuesday and up to 4 inches for Wednesday (highest chance east of I-69E).
Forecast rainfall totals are 4-6 inches for Monday-Friday, with a 10% chance of 8 inches or more during the period.
