... Cold and wet weather is expected on Wednesday and Thursday...

An area of low pressure will gradually develop across the
northwest Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday and Thursday. It will then track
northeastward on Thursday night and Friday towards the central
Gulf of Mexico. As a result... rain will develop across south Texas during
the day on Wednesday and continue to increase in coverage and
intensity on Thursday. The rain will end on Thursday night as the
low pressure system pulls away. Total rainfall amounts through
Thursday night are expected to average between three-quarters of
an inch to around two inches across south Texas.

The rain is expected to mix with sleet or even briefly change over
to sleet at times during the day on Wednesday mainly to the north
of a Laredo to Freer to Beeville line. The best bet for sleet will
occur across La Salle County where high temperatures on Wednesday
will be only in the upper 30s. Very little to no accumulation is
expected at this time. A gradual change over to all rain will
occur by Wednesday evening across this area as warmer air pushes
in from the south.

A chilly high pressure system anchored across south Texas will
maintain cold temperatures through Thursday. Overnight lows
through Thursday morning will be mostly in the 30s each night.
Daytime highs on Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly in the 40s.
