Multiple Flash Flood Emergencies were issued Friday morning and again Saturday morning as heavy rainfall moved through portions of the Texas Hill Country. Several locations accumulated over a foot of rainfall in a short amount of time, including San Angelo, which recorded almost 13" of rainfall. The yearly average of rainfall for San Angelo is around 21".<h1>FRIDAY</h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/1-1751682972637.png"><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1941108484847886805" src="https://x.com/NWSSanAngelo/status/1941108484847886805"></div>Flash flooding was also occurring along the Guadalupe River near Kerrville.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1941126276699619470" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1941126276699619470"></div><h1>SATURDAY</h1>Another nearly stationary cluster of storms developed overnight. Areas just west of Round Rock have already picked up more than 12 inches of rain since earlier this morning.

That helps generate showers and storms - it's its own low-pressure system. That spun its way through a very moist airmass. But without any upper-level winds to help push these storms anywhere, it rained and rained over the same places for extended periods of time.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-05 07-30-23-1751724329889.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Some high-resolution models will keep slow-moving storms in the vicinity into the evening. There's a chance we get more Sunday, but there is little confidence in exactly where.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/txflood-1751754055270.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

NORTHERN PLAINS - A frontal system continues to move out of the Plains and into the Upper Midwest, spurring showers and thunderstorms as it does so. Wind gusts were again significant across the northern Plains on Friday afternoon and evening.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-04 205134-1751683902230.png"><h2>Severe Weather Outlooks</h2>The risk for severe storms continues on Saturday, moving east with a MARGINAL (1 out of 5) outlook issued from Lake Superior south to Kansas City. Wind impacts appear to be the primary hazard.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 161508-1751753730782.png"><h2>Timing</h2>Storms will advance along a cold front that slowly shifts to the southeast. Some storms may persist after dark, but the afternoon and evening hours are expected to see most of the strong storms. As the front stalls somewhat, or tilts more, a few more strong storms will be possible on Sunday from Missouri to the east into Indiana.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/mwcoldfront-1751753820387.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Rainfall Forecast</h2>While exact totals remain uncertain, localized downpours of 3 inches or more are possible where storms stall or train. Isolated flash flooding is possible. Seek higher ground if a flash flood warning is issued.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 161754-1751753885616.png">Stay safe this holiday weekend, and be sure to check back for the latest updates on storm timing and severity.

Tropical Storm Chantal has formed, with winds reaching 40 mph. Tropical Storm Watches have been upgraded to warnings in areas where higher winds are expected tonight into Sunday. Heavy rain is expected to be the biggest impact with Chantal, as the slow-moving storm spins for a few days in the southeast. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 103517-1751733334363.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 061253-1751717592689.jpg"><h1>Forecast</h1>As Chantal slowly moves northward, you can expect more scattered showers and storms for the rest of the holiday weekend! The rain coverage will diminish some for Florida as rain chances increase for the Carolinas starting this weekend into early next week. The main impact of this system remains the same with heavy rain and gusty winds.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/New Baron Video 3-1751683557956.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 061359-1751717646560.jpg">Catch more details on the southeast during your Southeastern Regional Forecast, :10 past the hour on WeatherNation.

Following Flossie, the Eastern Pacific remains quite active as the National Hurricane Center is tracking two areas of interest southwest of Mexico. Invest 96E or the red highlighted area has a high chance of development in the next couple of days. The region outlined in yellow is for another low expected to form later in the week. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 103343-1751733237380.jpg">The spaghetti plots show 96-E remaining well south of Mexico as it churns westward. This will limit impacts to the west coast of Mexico but interests in Hawaii should keep an eye on this system for the potential of increased rain chances next week. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-05 040404-1751710453661.png">This system could bring stronger currents to Mexico's coast, but if it remains weak before moving farther west impacts should be minimal.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-05 04-07-18-1751710464055.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>For more details on this forecast, be sure to check out the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPEP1+shtml/020252.shtml">National Hurricane Center's </a>website.

NORTHEAST -A shortwave trough will swing through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast on Thursday, bringing the threat of afternoon thunderstorms along an advancing cold front. Warm and humid air ahead of the boundary will help fuel the risk for damaging wind gusts and isolated hail.The SPC has issued a SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe storms in these areas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/PIC 1-1751573415086.jpg">Storms look to start during the day in New York State, but the frontal boundary doesn't move towards the I-95 corridor and clear until later into the evening/nighttime frame.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-03 05-06-29-1751540825848.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>This next frontal boundary is coming just a couple of days after significant flash flooding happened in the northeast, so the flooding threat where we have already seen rain may be more sensitive to flash flooding through the end of the week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-03 042835-1751538519921.jpg">

NORTHWEST - Today, portions of Montana are under heat advisories until this evening for temperatures that could reach the century mark. Please know the signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke if you live in these areas.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1940370908499136862" src="https://x.com/NWSGlasgow/status/1940370908499136862"></div>With hot temperatures in the forecast across these areas, there is also the risk of scattered severe thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe storms across portions of Montana through tonight. Damaging winds appear to be the main hazards.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-02 112106-1751476889436.png">The timing of these storms favors the peak of afternoon heating. But the help of an upper-level shortwave can bring these storms during "off hours" too. This frontal boundary eventually moves on to disturb the north-central U.S. in time for the holiday.

The <a href="https://media.weathernationtv.com/news/heavy-snow-continues-fall-northeast/">latest nor'easter to blast through New England</a> brought yet another round of heavy snow, high wind, and blizzard conditions.  Coastal flooding, snow-covered highways, and power outages brought much of the region to a halt.

https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/973617045991378945

This winter storm brought the highest snow totals of the season in many parts of Massachusetts.  In fact, Boston set a record for the 14.5 inches of snow that fell in the city Tuesday.

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-88843" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/03/Boston-1-728x408.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="408" />

Not only was it a daily record, but it was also a monthly record!  Boston's weather history books will record March 13, 2018 as the all-time snowiest March day.  The previous all-time snowiest March day was March 19, 1956 when 13.2 inches of snow fell.  Weather records have been kept in Boston since 1872.  For the season, Boston has now picked up nearly 5 feet of snow.

Other New England cities, such as Portland and Concord, have accumulated around 7 feet of snow so far this winter!  Considering it is March, more snow is probable.  With that in mind, be sure to follow WeatherNation on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/WeatherNation">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation">Facebook</a> for the latest weather forecasts and information.
