Additional rounds of heavy rainfall are forecast to continue across central Texas through at least Tuesday, raising concerns of further flooding in communities already devastated by storms that passed through the area during the Fourth of July weekend, according to FOX Weather.
As of Monday morning, the National Weather Service said a Flood Watch is in effect for more than a dozen counties in the Austin and San Antonio regions, through 7 p.m. this evening.
“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,” the NWS said in an advisory.
“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,” the NWS added.
