KSAT 12 meteorologist Mike Osterhage says a flash flood watch is in effect until 7 p.m. Saturday, and that rain is beginning to move in from the coast.

A few showers are expected this morning, and then the heavy downpours will become more widespread this afternoon. There will be heavy rain overnight and most of the day tomorrow, Osterhage said.

The National Weather Service said the rain chances will increase throughout the day as the disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico moves towards the lower Texas coast.
