Even with currently dry conditions, rivers are expected to respond to locally heavy rainfall across west Texas over the next three (3) days. Rapid onset flooding in small streams is possible and dangerous. Stay tuned to your local weather office for updates. #txwx #flood
ALT Forecast rainfall totals up to 5-inches across west Texas could lead to elevated river flows and rapid onset flooding. Even with ongoing drought conditions and rivers trending below normal flows, the river flood risk will be driven by observed rainfall rates and location.
