SAN ANTONIO – A Flood Watch has been issued for San Antonio and much of South Central Texas as forecasters warn that multiple rounds of heavy rain could bring flash flooding through Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service says the watch goes into effect at 9 p.m. and remains in place through Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
The watch includes Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Bandera, Kendall, Kerr, Gillespie, Medina, Uvalde, Hays, Travis, Williamson, Burnet, Llano and several other counties across the region.<\/p>\n
Forecasters say tropical moisture moving into South Central Texas will combine with a slow-moving upper-level disturbance, creating an active weather pattern capable of producing repeated rounds of heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n
Rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches are expected across the watch area, with isolated locations potentially receiving up to 10 inches. The heaviest rainfall is expected across the Rio Grande Plains and the southern Edwards Plateau, but heavy downpours are possible anywhere within the watch area.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service warns that life-threatening flash flooding is possible in some locations.<\/p>\n
Flooding could occur along rivers, creeks and streams, as well as in low-lying areas, neighborhoods with poor drainage and urban streets. Low-water crossings may become impassable, and some roads could quickly flood during periods of intense rainfall.<\/p>\n
The wet weather is expected to begin Monday night and continue through at least Thursday, with several opportunities for showers and thunderstorms each day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A Flood Watch has been issued for San Antonio and much of South Central Texas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-371354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
