After several days of severe storms and flooding rains, the Lone Star State will get a chance to dry out this weekend.

Historic rain totals were seen in the Rio Grande Valley, with some places recording a staggering 18 inches of rain over the last few days. Much of the state saw far less – but still beneficial – totals of an inch or two. This will reduce fire danger in the short term and have some positive impact on the drought conditions.

The atmosphere has stabilized, but moisture remains over much of Texas. This means areas of dense fog are likely in wet areas the next two mornings. But overall, the pattern will be much drier for Saturday and Sunday with plentiful sunshine.

Highs on Saturday will reach the low 80s in North Texas, mid-80s for central areas and upper 80s and low 90s in South Texas and along the Rio Grande.

Due to lingering moisture, most areas will have a low chance of rain, mainly sprinkles or light showers in the morning hours.
