It has been 10 days since the devastating floods swept through the Texas Hill Country, and our hearts remain with the communities still recovering. The thought of more heavy rain is the last thing anyone wants to hear right now, but unfortunately, we are monitoring more rainfall. Sunday morning, parts of Texas have seen over 6" of rainfall. For the San Saba area, over 9" of rain was recorded in the last 24 hours.With more rainfall in the forecast today, the Weather Prediction Center is highlighting a MODERATE risk along the Big Bend of Texas. Localized heavy rain will be possible on top of the already saturated soils, bringing more flooding concerns.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 130259-1752519848032.png">Flood Watches continue for Texas for the potential of continued heavy rain. Additional watches have been issued for eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas too.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 180859-1752538147265.png">Although rain will be limited, there will be some localized rain possible as a trough lingers, adding more rain to the flooding and saturated soils.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/teasc-1752541854955.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Tune in to WeatherNation for live updates throughout the hour.

Flash Flooding Threat Continues in Texas

Storms rumbling through the northeast on Sunday knocked down a few trees with high winds. That same front is slowly pressing east into this afternoon, but will tap into some pretty deep moisture, even for July.<h1>FLOODING RISK</h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 130916-1752520320413.png">Areas around the I-95 corridor should expect showers and storms, especially this afternoon. But because there is so much rich moisture in the atmosphere, these storms will be efficient at producing rain. The Weather Prediction Center mentioned Monday morning in their forecast discussion:<blockquote> "...locally 3+"/hr rates are possible"</blockquote>That becomes a problem when you consider the dominant ground cover here, concrete and asphalt. Expect flash flooding to develop with the possibility that a high-end event unfolds, including catastrophic flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia with areas that are of most concern.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 130939-1752520327525.png">Through mid-week, rainfall totals across the I-95 corridor may reach upwards of 5"+.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 130921-1752520397314.png">FORECAST With the loss of daytime heating, the Storm Prediction Center has dropped the severe threat, but a few isolated thunderstorms will be possible overnight.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/KA-1752542057662.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

"Enough of this heat, already" - everybodyIn the middle of July, you don't often get a strong enough system to bring temperatures back some 30 degrees. So enjoy the breath of fresh air where it's available. The Northern Rockies and High Plains are going to be the beneficiaries of this one, breaking the 100 heat in a substantial way. That's the reward for the suffering they go through in the Winter.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 180820-1752538107289.png">Some areas will plummet into the 60s on Tuesday, after the mid-to-upper 90s! That kind of swing means someone is going to get severe weather. Expect strong to severe storms through Wednesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/ova-1752542179226.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 125717-1752519556620.png">The SPC has also issued a marginal risk through Wednesday across the Plains.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 125721-1752519593366.png">Severe storms pushed through the plains today with damaging winds and hail being the primary concern. As an area of low pressure moves through storm chances will continue daily.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/wsv-1752542369967.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the chance for tropical formation to "medium" in orange. There's about a 30% chance in the next 48 hours for formation, and a 40% chance in the next 7 days for the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf. This area is denoted the title AL93, or Invest 93L.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-14 08-13-49-1752495281811.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Models</h1>Since this is an area of investigation, there are forecast models, known as spaghetti plots. According to the NHC, this system is forecast to move west across the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday before moving into the northeastern Gulf mid-week. Conditions remain favorable for additional development, and if it remains offshore, it could become a tropical depression later this week.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer invest 93l spaghetti-1752519569534.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Factors</h1>Why is the northern Gulf being highlighted for development in the middle of July? Models favor upper-level troughing to develop over the region toward the middle of the week, which is likely to spur lift and heavy rain.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-10 072740-1752155310312.png">At the surface, winds could converge around several boundaries that have the potential to form. This is a process similar to conditions that created Tropical Storm Chantal, which moved onshore in the Carolinas on the July 4th weekend, spurring significant flooding in North Carolina.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-12 054231-1752320579168.png">Warm water is a necessary ingredient for tropical formation, and temperatures in the Gulf are plenty warm to fuel tropical systems. Typically, sea-surface temperatures in the upper 70s are needed for tropical cyclone development.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Web 2-1752495335806.png">Water temperatures tend to warm more quickly early in the season in the Gulf and western Atlantic. This is more often where we see early-season development.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-10 072757-1752155325910.png">Updated CSU Outlook</h1>Colorado State University updated its seasonal forecast on Wednesday, July 9th.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-10 081155-1752156752337.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-10 081242-1752156788535.png">

Keep the rain boots handy in Florida - heavy rain is expected to inundate parts of the state from the end of the weekend into the middle of the upcoming week. Rainfall totals are expected to average 3-6" in Central and South Florida, with higher totals likely for areas that see multiple heavy downpours. Some locations may end up with 7-10" of rain by the time this storm system moves out.This system could develop into our next tropical system.

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.

Friday was another busy day with severe weather and flash flooding. A Flash Flood Emergency was issued for Davenport, IA after they picked up over four inches of rain. The winds from Friday's storms were over 70 plus mph!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-12 055745-1752321471706.png"><h1>Timing</h1>Friday's leftover storms will be the catalyst for additional shower and thunderstorm development across parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region on Saturday, as will the frontal boundary that moves into the region. The surface low could also help to spur a few supercells, capable of producing a tornado or two in eastern Michigan, primarily from the late morning through mid-afternoon.<h1>SATURDAY</h1><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/FORECAST-1752352202968.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As the front continues to move, strong thunderstorms may redevelop early Saturday over the central High Plains. Behind the front, a high-pressure system ushering in cooler, drier air from western Canada will settle over the northern High Plains, bringing a temporary break from the stormy conditions. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/PIC 1-1752352628146.jpg">Rainfall rates will remain high, with 1-2" of rain per hour possible. This could lead to rain totals surpassing 4-5 inches in some areas that see multiple rounds of storms or slow moving storms. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-12 055618-1752321436549.png">

Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued in the Windward Islands with Tropical Storm Watches for the Leeward Islands as Isaac moves closer to the Lesser Antilles. Isaac remains a tropical storm with 60 mph winds. The cyclone is located about 420 miles east of Martinique and around 455 miles east of Guadeloupe and continues to move westward.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96941" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/09/issac.png" alt="" width="1529" height="870" />

Isaac has been encountering strong upper level wind shear, which will lead to further weakening as the storm approaches the islands. The cyclone is forecast to move across the central Lesser Antilles and into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Thursday, and then move across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea through Saturday.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96943" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/09/is-trax.png" alt="" width="1523" height="857" />

Along with tropical storm force winds, Isaac will produce very heavy rainfall. Total rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches with isolated amounts up 8 inches will fall across Martinique, Dominica, and Guadeloupe. In Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, 1 to 2 inches of rain with isolated amounts to 4 inches is possible. Up to an inch is anticipated across the remaining Windward and Leeward Islands. This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash flooding.
