Don’t put those rubber boots up yet.

A few days of drying out from January’s record rainfall most likely ends Saturday, regardless what the groundhog (more likely a nutria in these parts) encounters Friday morning.

Another weather system moving across Texas on Friday is expected to edge into Louisiana sometime Saturday, bringing a high probability of turbulent conditions.

Temperatures about 10 degrees cooler will still seem moderate in the wake of January’s deep freeze.
