Another round of storms<\/a> is expected to pass through South-Central Texas on Thursday, July 16, according to the National Weather Service (NWS<\/a>). It comes after emergency officials led evacuations near San Antonio as flooding surged in areas near rivers and lakes.<\/p>\n

There is a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms developing over the Alamo City sometime during the daylight hours, forecasters say. It could result in new rainfall amounts ranging between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, low-lying areas will be especially prone to flooding. Roughly 25 miles north,\u00a0Fair Oaks Ranch had received roughly 11 inches of rain since Monday, July 13, according to\u00a0KWTX News 10<\/a>. Near Camp Wood, that\u00a0number was around 15\u00a0inches, and by Uvalde, it was approximately 17 inches. Hondo sat at an astounding 19\u00a0inches.<\/p>\n

After sunset, there’s a 40% chance of rain, and wind gusts could reach 20 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through 7 a.m. on Thursday, the following areas face the highest risk (Level 4 out of 4 on the NWS’s scale) of excessive rain leading to flash flooding: Uvalde, Rocksprings, Del Rio, and Eagle Pass. <\/p>\n

The Alamo City and several of its neighbors, including\u00a0Pleasanton, Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg, face a Level 3 out of 4 risk during that same time period. <\/p>\n

After 7 a.m. on Thursday, the risk decreases slightly. Cities west of San Antonio sit at around Level 3 or 2 through 7 a.m. on Friday, July 17. The windiness will make it feel chillier than normal. The high will be around 85 degrees, while the low will be 75 degrees, per the\u00a0NWS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a situation report issued by the NWS, meteorologists warned that locally catastrophic flash flooding is likely. Folks may notice high water on some roads this morning as heavy rain fell over the\u00a0western Hill Country, southern Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande, and U.S. 90 corridor overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In particular,\u00a0the agency says significant river flooding (moderate to major category) could occur\u00a0in the Nueces, Frio, and Medina basins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Edwards Plateau, Texas Hill Country, Rio Grande Plains, and the I-35 corridor remain under a\u00a0Flood Watch<\/a> until Thursday evening, according to the NWS website. It includes parts of San Antonio, Austin, and New Braunfels. The agency issues a Flood Watch when conditions are favorable for flooding. It indicates a possibility, not an absolute or active event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agency issued a\u00a0Flood Warning<\/a> for Devils River at Cauthorn Ranch Near Juno and Devils River at Bakers Crossing 19N of Comstock, which impacts Val Verde County. It is in effect until the morning of Saturday, July 18. A Flood Warning means flooding is imminent or already occurring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another round of storms is expected to pass through South-Central Texas on Thursday, July 16, according to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[820,3091,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-375291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysastaff","tag-mysawx","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\/375291","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=375291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
