A Flood Watch is in effect from noon today through noon on Labor Day for almost all of south-central Texas. While your odds for rain are less in south Texas, there will still be scattered storms with pockets of heavy rain impacting your area as well over the next 48 hours.
From the NWS: “By noon Sunday, the frontal boundary slowly begins to push to the south into the Hill Country. By that time precipitable water values are forecast to range from 1.7 to 1.9 inches across the Rio Grande/southern Edwards Plateau to over 2.2 inches over the Hill Country, I-35 corridor, and coastal plains. With this abundant tropical moisture in place, we are anticipating several rounds of heavy rain over most of south central Texas mainly Sunday afternoon into the evening and continuing through Monday morning as the frontal boundary slowly push to the south and into the coastal plains. Storm rainfall totals are forecast to range from 2 to 4 inches with isolated spots up to 8 inches. Stay weather aware and closely monitor weather conditions as this heavy rain event impacts most of south central Texas during this Labor Day holiday extended weekend (into Monday).”
Everyone stay safe out there, especially if your Labor Day plans include being near a river or low lying area. As always, make sure you have a NOAA weather radio or are able to receive emergency warnings on your phone and that you have them turned on!
Let us know how much rain falls at your place and where!
