Showers will be rather limited along and ahead of the front because much of the available moisture will be intercepted by the showers and thunderstorms in southern Texas.

Given the available moisture and the sluggishness of the system, the risk of flash flooding will rise in areas where repeated downpours produce rainfalls in excess of two inches.

This is because they often form within drier moisture profiles ( often initiated by dry lines ) leaving LPs with little available moisture despite high mid-to-upper level environmental winds.

Although these plants are almost entirely restricted to regions with high humidity or readily available moisture, the group as a whole is widely distributed, and occurs on every continent except Antarctica.

Naturally stony sites have their own parameters, but when rocks are introduced into the landscape, it comes down to the site itself-- soil conditions, exposure to sun or shade, and available moisture.
16.
Valley and west mesa areas, farther from the mountains are drier, averaging 6 8 inches of annual precipitation; the Sandia foothills tend to lift any available moisture, enhancing precipitation to about 10 17 inches annually.
17.
Distribution is limited by available moisture ( Monotropoideae species have limited ability to survive long enough to set seed during seasonal dry periods ), and by the distribution of conifer genera that are hosts of the specific host fungi these plants parasitize.
