Dangerous localized flooding is possible tonight through Wednesday across parts of Texas, especially the Edwards Plateau, Hill Country, South-Central Texas, and eastern Big Bend.<\/p>\n
Not everyone in the highlighted areas will flood, and this does not look like a widespread statewide disaster. However, repeated slow-moving storms may produce extreme rainfall over small areas, causing rapid rises on creeks, streams, rivers, roads, and low-water crossings.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s Texas Weather Roundup is sponsored by HTeaO \u2014 Texas born and brewed. Real tea, real refresh.<\/p>\n
A stationary boundary stretches from near Carlsbad, New Mexico, through the Permian Basin and Big Country toward Texoma, Northeast Texas, and the ArkLaTex.<\/p>\n
South of that boundary, abundant moisture has supported numerous showers and thunderstorms across Central Texas, the Brazos Valley, Southeast Texas, East Texas, the ArkLaTex, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
Tonight into early Tuesday, the Weather Prediction Center maintains a Level 3 of 4 Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall and flooding across portions of the Edwards Plateau.<\/p>\n
The relative highest-risk area includes locations near:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Del Rio
\u2013 Eagle Pass
\u2013 Southwest of Kerrville
\u2013 Western Hill Country
\u2013 Northern Edwards Plateau
\u2013 Eastern Big Bend<\/p>\n
Scattered flooding is also possible across parts of:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Hill Country
\u2013 Central Texas
\u2013 South-Central Texas
\u2013 Brazos Valley
\u2013 Southeast Texas
\u2013 East Texas
\u2013 Big Bend
\u2013 Concho Valley
\u2013 Permian Basin<\/p>\n
Tuesday into Wednesday may bring another round of very heavy rain. The Moderate Risk expands across the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, eastern Big Bend, South-Central Texas, and the western edge of the San Antonio metro.<\/p>\n
Areas to watch include:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Kerrville
\u2013 Fredericksburg
\u2013 Junction
\u2013 Del Rio
\u2013 Eagle Pass
\u2013 Sanderson
\u2013 San Antonio
\u2013 Austin
\u2013 Mason
\u2013 Llano
\u2013 Brady
\u2013 Comfort
\u2013 Boerne
\u2013 San Angelo<\/p>\n
The main concern is repeated slow-moving thunderstorms. Where storms set up and remain over the same area, rainfall totals may exceed 10 inches in only a few hours.<\/p>\n
Forecast totals through the end of the week currently suggest:<\/p>\n
\u2013 A widespread 3\u20137 inches in portions of the main corridor
\u2013 Localized totals of 10\u201315 inches
\u2013 Potentially higher isolated amounts where storms repeatedly track over the same location<\/p>\n
Those extreme totals will not occur everywhere. Some communities may receive much less. The concern is where the localized high-end amounts fall\u2014especially over vulnerable river basins and rocky Hill Country or Edwards Plateau terrain.<\/p>\n
Heavy rainfall rates over four inches per hour have already occurred in parts of Texas. A large supply of moisture from the Gulf is continuously replenishing the atmosphere, allowing storms to produce extremely efficient rainfall.<\/p>\n
Another potential concern Tuesday night into Wednesday is interaction between an area of low pressure moving southwest from Northeast Texas and another system near northern Mexico. If that interaction develops as forecast, another large area of heavy rain could form over portions of the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, Central Texas, and the Interstate 35 corridor.<\/p>\n
Practical safety reminders:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Have a way to receive flash flood warnings overnight
\u2013 Never drive through water covering a road
\u2013 Avoid low-water crossings
\u2013 Monitor creeks, streams, and rivers upstream
\u2013 Move to higher ground before water begins rising
\u2013 Do not camp immediately beside waterways during this setup<\/p>\n
