Our weekend forecast:

The area of low pressure in the Gulf will bring more rain Saturday before making land in South Texas Sunday. There is another flood threat to start our weekend. However, the rain in the Gulf is battling dry air from high pressure to our northwest. The line separating the rain and dry air is lined along the 59 freeway. That’s why you don’t see a flood threat for our northwestern areas. The low is on land Sunday and we return to a hit and miss storm pattern with temperatures heating up.
