San Antonio, Texas – A wetter-than-normal weather pattern is expected to develop across South Texas during the January 10–14 period, raising concerns for repeated rounds of rain and localized travel impacts across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, South Texas is favored to see above-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend above seasonal averages. That combination supports a moist setup capable of producing multiple rain events rather than a single storm, increasing the chance for periods of steady rainfall.
The highest rain potential stretches from the Rio Grande Valley through the Coastal Bend and inland toward San Antonio and the I-35 corridor. Cities including Laredo, McAllen, Corpus Christi, Victoria, and San Antonio could see rounds of moderate rain, with locally heavier pockets possible if storms train over the same areas. While severe weather is not the primary concern, persistent rainfall may lead to ponding on roads and minor drainage issues in low-lying locations.
Drivers should be prepared for slick conditions along major routes such as I-35, I-37, US-77, and US-281, particularly during peak commute times. Residents are encouraged to clear drainage areas, monitor roadway conditions, and avoid driving through water-covered roads.
The overall pattern supports a prolonged wet stretch rather than widespread flooding at this stage. Additional rain advisories may be issued as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches and confidence in rainfall coverage and intensity increases.
