rain

So much rain fell on the south east and central Texas gulf coast from Hurricane Harvey that the National Weather Service had to update the colors on the scale that measures rainfall.

We know that good will prevail in the end and we'll be amazed the kindness that takes over Texas when all of this is over.

If you have family or friends in areas with mandatory evacuations, please make sure they take heed or at the very least, are extremely prepared for flooding, power outages and more.

Just remember, not every state appreciates the hazard lights like Texas does.

This weekend will be chilly and East Texas will receive two to six inches of rain. Because of the weather, some weekend Christmas parades have been rescheduled or cancelled.

My dog would high five this dog and say "Amen." A friend of mine was staring at her phone and couldn't stop laughing, and I asked her what in the heck was so funny.  This dog!  She shared it with me, and I am sharing with you.  Pet owners will relate.

The central and southern regions of the Lone Star State have been getting hammered with unprecedented amounts of rain, and East Texas could start getting its share of he same from today through Sunday.

East Texas has seen its fair share of severe weather over the past month or so and it appears as if we could see another round of such weather again this afternoon.

Spring time in East Texas can be rough weather wise at times and it appears as if we could be in for a round of severe weather Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening and then clearing out Thursday morning.

It's that time of the year when our chances of strong to severe thunderstorms increase because of the changing of the seasons! This St. Patrick's Day is no different because there is a chance of scattered strong thunderstorms throughout the day for East Texas.

Flooding concerns are on the top of just about everyone's mind in East Texas the past couple of days. The threat of flash flooding still exists through at least Friday evening. With all the rain we've received the past few days, several cities have had to issue some sort of evacuation orders or disaster declarations and such. The City Of Tyler is the last city to issue such notice.

Rain, rain and more rain is expected to fall upon East Texas this week!
