The most intense rainfall is likely to occur north of I-10, where street flooding is expected due to the intensity of the rain. This rainfall will further enhance drought conditions in the region. A cold front is forecasted to move through Friday night, leading to temperatures reaching 68° and a potentially chilly weekend.
