Overview
- Flood watches and flash flood warnings cover large parts of central and southern Texas, including Travis and Bexar counties, with alerts active on Monday for Austin, San Antonio and surrounding areas.
- Emergency crews performed water rescues and aided stranded motorists in Austin and Waco as intense downpours produced rapid flooding at low-water crossings and highways.
- San Antonio recorded a new daily rainfall mark for June 15 at 2.24 inches and Bexar County reported roughly 30 road closures as storms stalled over the region.
- Forecasters warn torrential rates of roughly 2–4 inches per hour and repeated 'training' storms can produce several inches in a few hours and say the Houston area faces an elevated multi-day risk that could bring pocket totals above half a foot.
- The flooding setup is driven by a stalled front, saturated soils and deep tropical moisture from the Gulf and northeastern Mexico, and the National Hurricane Center is monitoring a Gulf low that could add more rain later in the week.
