  • ...First Significant Cold Front Of The Season To Move Through
    Deep South Texas Monday Afternoon And Evening...
    A strong Canadian cold front is poised to moved through the region
    Monday afternoon through Monday evening. With the front, expect
    widespread showers and thunderstorms. Minor flooding may be
    possible Monday night, especially in areas that receive multiple
    rounds of thunderstorms or locations with poor drainage networks.
    An isolated strong thunderstorm or two may be possible with gusty
    winds and small hail not out of the question.
    In addition to the potential for heavy rainfall, temperatures will
    sharply drop behind the front. In many cases as much as 30 degrees
    in just a few hours. Additionally, gusty winds will accompany the
    passage of the front. Expect gusty northerly winds up to around 30
    to 35 miles per hour. It is urged to secure lightweight objects
    such as trashcans, patio furniture, and outdoor holiday
    decorations that may topple over or may be tossed during windy
    conditions.
