As anticipated, tropical moisture has moved in and taken up residence over the region. An upper level low that is parked in Eastern Texas will move little over the next few days before eventually dissipating toward the end of the week. Deep tropical moisture funneled in by this feature will stay with us through at least the end of the week. Best rain chances will be confined to mainly the daytime hours tomorrow and Wednesday, with activity gradually becoming more scattered in nature toward the weekend when the tail end of a front should give us a temporary push of drier air.Â
Locally heavy downpours will be possible over the next few days, but the greatest threat of flooding rains should be confined to SW Louisiana and Southeast Texas tomorrow, and mostly SE Texas on Wednesday. The National Weather Service has re-issued a Flood Watch for Cameron, Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes through tomorrow. It does appear that the on and off drought denting showers and storms may return for a good part of next week.Â
