Tropical Weather Could Head for the Valley
A tropical wave and surface low pressure off the Mexican coast is expected to move north toward the Rio Grande Valley over the next two days.
The low pressure system is about 100 miles south of the Rio Grande near La Pesca, Tamaulipas.
Weather forecasters aren't certain yet if the development will become a tropical depression, but it is possible if the surface low stays offshore.
"We believe the low pressure system will travel north along the Mexican coast," said Action 4 Chief Meteorologist Bryan Hale. "As it nears the Valley there is a good possibility we'll experience showers and thunderstorms."
While we'll get some of the rain, Hale says most of the heavy rains will travel north of the Valley into the Corpus Christi area and eventually into the Texas Hill Country.
"The storms we'll experience will begin on Tuesday through late Wednesday," said Hale.
