Flood Watch in Effect Through Noon for South‑Central Texas

Forecasters warn slow-moving storms fueled by Gulf moisture could trigger flash flooding in low-lying and urban areas.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service has a Flood Watch in place until noon CDT Monday for a broad area including the I‑35 and I‑10 corridors and many Hill Country cities such as Austin and San Antonio.
  • Forecasts call for 2 to 4 inches of rain across the watch area with isolated totals up to 8 inches that could overwhelm creeks, rivers, and drainage systems.
  • Overall rain coverage is expected to be about 50% to 60%, so some locations may stay dry while others experience intense, localized downpours.
  • Storms are expected to move slowly and may produce very heavy rainfall rates, frequent lightning, and strong winds.
  • Residents are urged to monitor alerts, avoid flooded roads, and be ready to move to higher ground as low-water crossings may close if flooding develops.
