Texas is drenched by heavy rains as forecasters warn that more storms could bring dangerous floods
Forecasters warned of life-threatening flooding and said some areas could receive 10 to 20 inches of rain as state crews prepared to respond.
- The National Weather Service issued a rare high risk of flash flooding for South-Central Texas on Tuesday, warning that repeated thunderstorms could dump 10 to 20 inches of rain through Wednesday morning.
- Meteorologists attribute the threat to an unusual moisture surge and a broad low-pressure trough, creating a "potentially catastrophic, multi-round flood event" that poses greatest danger overnight while residents sleep.
- Gov. Greg Abbott activated state emergency response resources on Sunday, issuing a disaster declaration for 59 counties to ensure rapid deployment of aid across threatened communities.
- Torrential rain already inundated parts of Uvalde and Medina counties, where officials issued "life-threatening" flooding warnings, forcing road closures and leaving vehicles stranded in high water.
- A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday evening for the Texas Hill Country and I-35 corridor, with heaviest rainfall expected to shift west toward the Rio Grande.
