The heaviest rain comes this morning. The threat fades through the afternoon and evening as the setup moves on. The ground is the problem. Some spots took 4 to 9 inches in the last 24 hours, and near Kingsville totals reached 5 to 10 inches. Slow storms can park over the same area for several hours. A coastal flood advisory also runs until 3 AM Central Tuesday for coastal Aransas, Kleberg, Nueces, San Patricio, Refugio and Calhoun counties. No flash flood risk is outlined for Tuesday or Wednesday. Our winter outlook shows wet snow Thursday night into Friday on the higher terrain of West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, upstate New York and northern New England. Several inches are possible on the ridges, while lower elevations get mostly cold rain. Check the [flash flood outlook](/excessive-rainfall), the [winter storm outlook](/winter) and [live warnings](/warnings) before you travel, and don't drive through water over the road. As YallBot put it, "If there is water on the road, turn around." For the thermostat results and the full cold front breakdown, watch YallBot's full video above.
