Bottom Line
Recent rain over the weekend was lower than expected, with most areas receiving less than 1 inch. See weekend rainfall map below (Graphic-1). Looking ahead, only light rainfall is expected early in the week, with slightly higher chances toward the end of the week mainly in East Texas. Overall totals are forecast to remain modest. Lake levels across much of the system remain below normal for this time of year. Next update will come as conditions warrant.
