Austin weather: Cool and rainy day

The cloudy, cool, rainy weather we had over the weekend has carried over into your Monday. And here's proof on our standard insurance time lapse. Where's the sun? It's hiding behind the clouds. And more rain is on the way. Getting a closer look at one of the textile camps. This is I-35 Airport Boulevard. Yes, the roads are a little wet. So if you're venturing out for lunch, running errands, keep that in mind. Allow some extra time. Have low beams on. We're not expecting any heavy rain. That break from the rain is ending here around the Austin Metro. We'll be right back. For the Lake Dripping Springs, Wimberley, heaviest rains in southern Blanco County. If you look farther to the southwest, there's more rain that's going to last on and off around here for the rest of the afternoon. And checking out our sky cams across Texas, a nice steady rain in Kerrville, and we'll go to San Antonio. And they're also seeing some decent rain. Also, a few breaks in the clouds. This is where we've seen the rain the last couple of days. It's been a widespread event, as promised. And where you see the green color, it's at least an inch of rain. That's half the area. And then we had two to three-inch totals that across the hill country. And here's proof. We can verify that by checking out the LCRA Rain Gauge Network. Over three inches in County and Fredericksburg. Almost two and a half in Mason. Over an inch from Blanco to Lampasas. Not as much farther east to go, but finally cashing in on some rain down there in Fayette County. And there is the rain machine, this upper low. As long as we're due east of that low, we have plenty of moisture being pulled in and plenty of lift. And this is why we continue to get waves and waves of light to moderate rain. The rain won't shut off until this low moves east of here. That will happen later on tonight and tomorrow. For the next several hours, light rain is likely. For everybody, at least on and off, you can see that on our high-res futurecast. No torrential downpours, no thunderstorms, barely any lightning. Closest lightning bolts are closer to Del Rio and San Antonio. And then as we go into the overnight hours, less rain, but the clouds are still hanging tough. May have some patchy fog to be really concerned with tomorrow morning. And we may have a tough time getting rid of the clouds completely and not much of a warm-up on your Tuesday. The prime spot for flooding, nothing close by. It's down near Corpus Christi in Brownsville. That is where they could have another one, two, three inches of rain. Around here, we'll be lucky to get another quarter to a third of an inch. That's what most of the models are showing. Yes, much of the area will see some rain, but not as much as what we had over the weekend. So no street flooding, no flash flooding, no river flooding around here. But look out, starting this evening in the hill country, where you've seen the most rain, you have a lot more moisture on the ground. This could lead to a fog event tomorrow morning, dropping visibilities. Under a mile. Only mist showing up. All the pollen's washed out of the air because of the rain. We're hanging out mainly in the upper 50s, low 60s. We haven't warmed up a whole lot, and that's not surprising since we have all the clouds and light rain in the area. 62 degrees. Winds are calm. Heading out to the hike and bike trail. You're going to get rained on, and we're heading for the low to mid 60s for highs for the second straight day, and then lows tonight in the upper 50s. The southern branch of Jetstream sending in that low in the wake of it. You see a lot of clear, dry conditions. That's what's coming our way for the rest of the week. As it pivots more into the Midwest, the rain goes bye-bye, but it's going to send in a front, bringing in lots of sunshine for the second half of the week. So not a big fan of the cloudy, rainy, dreary conditions. Nicer weather is on the way. And along that front, it's going to reinforce the cool down late in the week. And then the next rain machine doesn't get here until late in the weekend. So we'll break down the seven-day forecast. 66 today, 100% chance of more light rain. Rain faucet turns off. Look out for that fog tomorrow morning. Drier skies for the rest of the week, warming up to 80 on Veterans Day. Dry, breezy front gets here Wednesday night, reinforcing the seasonal afternoon highs and some chilly mornings, lows in the 40s. Dry skies through the first half of the weekend, and then the rain making a comeback on Sunday.
