AUSTIN, Texas - The Arctic chill is gone and thank goodness because the widespread rain has made it into Central Texas. 

This is just a sign of things to come with a series of Pacific lows heading right for Texas. 

Today most of the rain will happen in the morning with a marginal to slight risk of ponding on the roads and flooded low-water crossings.
