7 inches and counting
SW Texas quadruples its normal July rain

Southwest Texas has received more than four times the amount of rain that normally falls in July in the last day due to a stationary front. More to come.

A stationary front, wedged between two high-pressure systems, continues to bring several inches of rain from Texas to the Tennessee Valley and Southeast. While one high pressure is bringing 100-degree heat to the northern Plains and Upper Midwest, the other is churning in the southern Gulf. The southern U.S. has been caught in a soggy pattern in the middle of these two circulations.

The stationary front bringing flooding rains is wedged between two high-pressure systems.

Normally, southwest Texas gets a little over two inches of rain in July, and during this event, many spots have reached between 7 and 9 inches with Hondo, Texas, getting around 14 inches - an entire summer's worth of rainfall.

The WeatherRadar shows heavy, slow-moving storms continuing and not letting up until the end of the week, especially for Texas. Extreme weather alerts are active.
