A storm system will continue moving across South Texas through Friday. Locally heavy rain is still possible, and a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect. Additional rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches will still be possible across parts of the Brush Country and Coastal Bend Region. Remember, never drive into flood waters, Turn Around Don't Drown!
Much of the region remains in a marginal risk (level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall Friday. This means there is at least a 5% chance for flash flooding. If flooding is observed seek higher ground. Never drive through flood waters! Turn around don't drown!
The combination of long period swells and persistent southeast winds will lead to an increased risk for rip currents overnight tonight. Rip currents can be dangerous even to the most experienced swimmers. Use caution if entering the water.
There is a Small Craft Advisory in effect today through early Friday afternoon over the near and offshore waters along the Middle Texas Coast. Expect winds generally at around 15-25 knots, with gusts to 35 knots, and seas 5-7 feet. Inexperienced mariners should avoid navigating in these conditions.
Flash Flooding can escalate quickly. Heavy rains can lead to sudden flash floods, whether you're on the road, beach or campground. Will you be ready? Be sure to have a way to get weather warnings on your phone, when alerted, get to high ground immediately, and never enter flood waters in a vehicle or on foot!
