Next shortwave embedded in the Western Upper trough making its approach from Southern California. Rain chances should increase again tomorrow into the weekend as this next disturbance crosses Texas. There are indications that a boundary may stall across Central and SE Texas increasing odds of potentially more training heavy rainfall with this next storm system. I know this is not what we want to hear, but we are stuck in this pattern for the foreseeable future.

Water over Mueschke Rd at Spring Creek.
