Laredo, Texas

... Locally heavy rainfall expected this week as area of disturbed
weather in the Gulf impacts south Texas...

Moisture from an area of disturbed weather over the southwestern
Gulf of Mexico and Bay of Campeche will move into south Texas
during the next few days. As a result... rain chances will increase
Monday and Tuesday with locally heavy rainfall possible over south
Texas as early as Monday afternoon.

At this time... the main impact from the area of disturbed weather
will be heavy rainfall... as this system is expected to move
northwest and into northeastern Mexico on Tuesday. However... since
the area of disturbed weather is not organized at this time...
there still is some uncertainty on where this system will
eventually track and whether it will become an organzied tropical
system.

Even if it remains a non-organized tropical system and moves into
northeastern Mexico on Tuesday... the copious moisture amounts from
this system will result in scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms at least through mid week... with the heaviest
rainfall and possible flooding expected Monday night through
Tuesday night.

Average rainfall amounts Monday through Wednesday night are
expected average between 2 and 4 inches... with isolated amounts
around 10 inches possible. This could result in flooding...
especially over low lying or flood prone areas. A Flood Watch may
be required on Monday or Monday night.

Tropical funnel clouds will also be possible during this
time... which generally remain aloft but at times have been known
to briefly touch down.

Residents should continue to monitor the latest forecasts from the
