The National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Watch for the Coastal Bend and said to expect a 90 percent chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms overnight in Corpus Christi and throughout the region.
New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch may greet the region by sunrise, when storms are expected to continue with heavy rain possible until at least 10 a.m., then picking up again later through Wednesday night
Look for patchy fog starting tonight and continuing tomorrow morning in the region.
“Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage later this evening through Wednesday morning as near record moisture interacts with mid-level disturbances,” the Weather Service said in its flood watch statement. “Latest model guidance highlights the potential for training of showers and storms over the Coastal Plains where soil moisture is already saturated (over 50%). Creeks and streams are already rising from upstream and will be more reactive to additional rainfall.”
