More rain is on the way...

According to today's 5 day rainfall forecast from NOAA, we could see an additional 1-3 inches of rain in our area by the end of the week. A stationary cool front and a series of upper level disturbances will cause more thunderstorms to form over most of Texas in the next few days.

Last night's mesoscale convective system moved through the San Antonio from NW Texas and dropped an additional 1.83 inches of rain in my backyard, giving me a 24hr storm total of 5.88 inches of rain. Having gone almost a month without rain, it was very welcome.

The Storm Prediction Center is showing a slight chance for severe storms to our west on both Saturday and Sunday. My guess is that because of the storms last night cooling the atmosphere, Sunday afternoon will be a better day for potential tornadoes to our west and northwest.
