Much of the Pineywoods is under a tornado watch through much of the evening.

Thursday will bring about an inch or two of rain across much of the Pineywoods.  That may not sound like to big of a flooding threat across the region, but when that comes just 3 days after a 3-4 inch rainfall, then there could be problems.

Over the past 24 hours, we've had the freezing temps and the precipitation, but they never really formed the icy situation that was forecast for Deep East Texas. That's good, but, we may not be out of the woods, yet.

For the most part today, Deep East Texas has dodged the large amounts of sleet and freezing rain that areas just to our North have been seeing. That may be changing this evening.   The Weather Prediction Center at the National Weather Service puts the best chance of freezing drizzle or rain in an area that includes Lufkin, Diboll, Jasper, Corrigan, and Zavalla.  T...

Is this a scene that we'll see more of this Winter in Deep East Texas?  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, we have better chances than normal.

Rain is the order of the day for Thursday in Deep East Texas.  According to forecasters, widespread amounts of up to an inch should fall with some isolated totals closer to 2 inches.

Tuesday morning brought heavy downpours across parts of East Texas.  Huntington and Crockett each received about an inch and a half of rain.  If the forecast is correct, we could be in for a lot more.

A weak cool front is expected to make its way across East and Northeast Texas this afternoon and overnight bringing with it the possibility of strong to severe storms.
