A tropical low pressure system will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Texas Gulf Coast this weekend, impacting beach plans with intermittent rain and gusty winds. Austin will see a 40% chance of rain, with lower chances in the Hill Country, and rainfall totals between 0.1 and 0.5 inches. Southeast Texas, particularly Houston, faces heavier rain (1-2 inches) and a low risk of flash flooding.
