flash flood

East Texas has been enjoying unseasonably nice weather over the past week, but that's all about to change.

It is fall after all! Rain is to be expected this time of the year and more rain is in the forecast for East Texas and this time around it could be paired up with some severe weather, too.

The Halloween weekend forecast looks pretty gloomy, and it could be pretty wet for trick or treating this year.

It's been 42 days since we've have measurable rainfall in Tyler and pretty much all of East Texas, but that's about to change.

The National Weather Service says locally heavy rainfall is expected over much of the state today and tonight with widespread rain resulting in one to near three inches of rainfall. An isolated thunderstorm is also possible.
