Heavy Rains Expected to Usher in New Year

Rainfall amounts of about an inch or two were pretty commonplace across the East Texas area on the first weekend after Christmas.

Looks like the first few days of 2015 could be even wetter. 

Another cold blast is expected to make its way into our area by Wednesday, plus a storm system is set to dump heavy amounts of cold rain, possibly up to 3 inches, by Saturday. The map above depicts the amount of rain possible across Eastern Texas from Thursday through Saturday.

There were some earlier forecasts that saw the possibility of freezing precipitation in our area, but it looks like the snow and/or ice will stay to our west and north.  Areas to the west of Fort Worth and Waco could be in for some wintry weather.
