Water Vapor Satellite

You can see all the moisture located in western Mexico this morning and with the southwesterly flow that moisture is heading into the Lone Star State.  Clouds and off and on rain chances will be possible throughout the morning, afternoon and evening.  Luckily the severe storm risk is very low, but the heavy rain could lead to some issues.
