Starting to get in range of the TX-tech WRF and some of the other good mesoscale models. Real key for heavy rain will be where the warm front sets up Saturday night.

Iota, the record setting 30th named Atlantic basin tropical storm of the season has formed and expected to move into Central America on Monday. Probably looking at a major hurricane too.
