A Flood Watch is in effect for much of west and southwest Texas through early Friday evening. Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms will move into the area through late this week as an upper level system slowly moves into the area. Heavy rainfall could lead to areas of flash flooding, especially going into Thursday and Friday.
Heavy showers with a couple of rumbles of thunder are in store today and tonight. Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall with already saturated soils will lead to flash flooding in some locations. Greatest concern of flash flooding remains for areas along and south of I-10. Ensure you have WEAs activated to receive warnings and remain weather aware!
