CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Happy Tuesday! Be weather aware today!! Heavy rainfall will make for ponding on roadways at times. Lightning is also a threat, so when thunder roars, go indoors!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
An area of low pressure is meandering across South Texas and bringing heavy or tropical downpours along with it. While the rain will be spotty in nature, it will likely come down in buckets when you find one. Some storms could drop inches of rain at a time. Flooding is possible if storms repeated happen over a particular neighborhood.
A raincoat is probably the better choice over an umbrella in this situation as winds could get gusty near storms.

Rain will remain in the forecast through the end of the week, so if you don't get much rain today— have patience. Thursday will provide another batch of good downpours.
