A Flood Watch is now in effect for much of North and Central TX from Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning. Average rainfall totals between 2 and 4 inches of rain are expected with isolated higher amounts near 6 inches possible. Continue to check back for updates to the forecast!
Expect a cloudy start to Wednesday, with increasing cloud cover during the morning. Scattered showers and storms are anticipated Wednesday afternoon. A strong storm or two capable of gusty winds and small hail cannot be ruled out in the late afternoon, but will likely hold off until the evening.
A slow-moving storm system along with abundant moisture will bring widespread showers and storms Wednesday through Friday. Some storms could become severe Wednesday evening and night, with damaging winds and hail the main threats. Most likely rainfall totals between 2 to 4 inches are expected, mainly from Wednesday night through late Thursday night. Isolated higher totals up to 6 inches are possible, which could lead to flooding in some areas.
Scattered showers and storms will linger through the weekend before tapering off early next week. With continued cloud cover and rain, much cooler conditions will help usher in the beginning of October. Expect highs in the 70s/80s and lows in the 50s/60s.
It has been a while since widespread heavy rain has been in the forecast, so this is a quick reminder of the difference between a Flood Watch and a Flood/Flash Flood Warning. A Flood Watch is issued when flooding is possible, while a Flood/Flash Flood Warning is issued when flooding (and/or flash flooding) is happening or about to happen.
