Overview
- NWS flood watches span the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau and the I-35 corridor from late Wednesday night through early Friday.
- Most locations are forecast to receive 1–3 inches of rain with isolated totals near 6 inches, heightening the chance of flash and urban flooding.
- Storms are expected in two rounds, with a nighttime cluster into Thursday morning followed by additional activity Thursday afternoon and evening.
- The Weather Prediction Center keeps a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall as the same system produces mountain snow in the Rockies and light rain along the California coast while tracking toward northwestern Mexico.
- Forecasters warn about dangerous conditions at low-water crossings, creeks and poor-drainage areas, and note a less certain chance of another round Sunday night into Monday.
