Heavy rains have fallen in the Hill Country, and the trend is expected to shift west and southwestward over the next two days. In the Laredo area, showers are likely to be more spotty. The river level at the international bridge downtown is being monitored, with a rise to near bank full expected on Thursday night.

Further rises are possible if heavy rain falls south of Amistad Dam. Drier air is forecast to bring sunnier and hotter weather to the area starting on Saturday. For more information on the weather and river levels, readers can visit the KGNS website for further updates.
