- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pressed for an investigation into NOAA and NWS staffing cuts, linking them to impacts on flood preparation and response.
- President Trump approved disaster assistance for Kerr County and is expected to visit Texas later this week to meet with affected families and evaluate the damage.
