Forecast Discussion:
Several inches of rainfall have already fallen across Central and Southeast Texas this week, and more rainfall is on the way for the Brazos Valley on Saturday. A low pressure system sitting over the Central Plains pulls a cold front into the Brazos Valley Saturday, igniting a line of showers and a few stronger-to-severe thunderstorms Saturday early afternoon and evening. This’ll become the second day this week we’ll watch for significant rainfall and minor flooding concerns from already aggravated creeks, drainages, and rivers across the Brazos Valley.

On Saturday, the NWSSPC has placed the Brazos Valley in a 1 out of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather with this latest storm event. This is similar to Thursday’s storm activity, that brought a few stronger storms, one of which produced a low grade tornado across the Southern Brazos Valley. All modes of severe weather is possible across the Brazos Valley, including high winds and large hail. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out, but the overall chance is very low across the region Saturday. Rain totals manage a quarter to three-fourths of an inch with isolated spots of an inch and a half possible across the Brazos Valley. Localized flooding is possible across Southeast Texas, so use caution on local roadways and in low-lying areas. Rain chances exit by mid-morning Easter Sunday, with the afternoon hours bringing cooler, drier conditions. Lows dip around 50° Sunday morning before highs reach the 60s and 70s across Southeast Texas to end the weekend.
