A Flood Watch has been issued through 7 PM Monday. There remains a threat of flash flooding from slow moving heavy rains overnight and through the day on Monday somewhere over the watch area. Difficult to pinpoint exact locations where isolated heavier amounts will occur.
An uptick in coverage and intensity of scattered showers and storms is possible overnight near the I-35 corridor and eastern Hill Country, developing west through the day on Monday. 2 to 4 inches of additional rainfall, with isolated amounts up to 10 inches, could fall anywhere over the watch area. Rainfall rates will be very intense in the heaviest showers and storms.
Any additional heavy rainfall over hardest hit areas of the past few days will lead to rapid runoff and flash flooding. Stay alert for Flash Flood Warnings!
During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Get to higher ground. Do not drive or walk into water. It only takes 6 inches of water to knock you off your feet. Stay informed by monitoring local radio and television for updates. weather.gov/safety/flood
