Signs That Pesky Rain-Maker May Move Back North

All the flooding rains from Texas northward to Kansas and Missouri over the past month have been caused by a mid-atmospheric-level low pressure area that has wandered from southern Kansas late last week into the Big Bend area of Texas over the weekend.

As you can see by the below Austin-San Antonio-TX radar image and the big white "L"- this meandering low pressure area has begun moving northeastward again.
There ARE indications that this low-pressure area could drift back northward and affect our region- hit hard by record floods- late this weekend or early next week.

Make appropriate "just-in-case" preparations and the Captain will keep you informed here....
