LIVE AT 9:45 PM CENTRAL: We’re tracking the ongoing Texas heavy-rain event and the potential for dangerous localized flooding tonight through Wednesday.
The greatest concern is focused on parts of the Edwards Plateau, Hill Country, South-Central Texas, eastern Big Bend, and nearby areas. That includes communities near Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Junction, Sanderson, San Antonio, Austin, Mason, Llano, Brady, Comfort, Boerne, and surrounding areas.
Not everyone in the highlighted corridor will flood. However, repeated slow-moving storms may produce extreme rainfall over localized areas.
Tonight’s live update will cover:
• Current radar and rainfall totals
• Flood and flash flood warnings
• Areas facing the greatest overnight concern
• Updated storm timing
• Hill Country and Edwards Plateau river basins
• Tuesday and Wednesday heavy-rain potential
• Latest forecast-model trends
• Low-water crossing and overnight safety concerns
A Level 3 of 4 Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall remains in place across portions of the region. Where storms repeatedly develop, rainfall totals may become significant.
Forecast rainfall through the week may include:
• Widespread totals of 3–7 inches in parts of the main corridor
• Localized totals of 10–15 inches
• Rainfall rates capable of exceeding several inches per hour
Those extreme amounts will not occur everywhere. The concern is where repeated storms affect the same community, creek, stream, or river basin.
Potential impacts include:
• Flooded streets and low-water crossings
• Rapid rises on creeks and streams
• River flooding
• Heavy rain during the overnight hours
• Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning
• Gusty winds with stronger thunderstorms
Have multiple ways to receive flash flood warnings overnight. Never drive through water covering a road, and monitor conditions upstream if you live, camp, or travel near creeks, streams, rivers, or low-water crossings.
