Areas of Excessive Rainfall and Severe Thunderstorms; Typhoon Watch for Guam/CNMI

Heavy to excessive rainfall will continue today from the Texas Big Bend region into southern Oklahoma. Locally considerable flash and urban flooding is possible, and river flooding will continue in central Oklahoma. Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible in parts of the Mid-Atlantic Friday. A Typhoon Watch has been issued for Guam and CNMI. Read More >

A cold front will bring strong winds to the Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains this evening through Saturday afternoon. Winds will be strongest within the Guadalupe Pass!
Remnant moisture from Hurricane Simon and several upper-level disturbances bring increasing atmospheric moisture to the region this week. This will lead to multiple rounds of heavy rainfall (and flash flooding) across much of the area continuing through Friday morning.
There is a risk for flash flooding across much of the Permian Basin and Stockton Plateau into Big Bend this evening/overnight and again Thursday night into Friday morning. While not everyone will see rain or experience flooding, flash flooding is likely to occur in/near poor drainage, low lying, and sloped terrain where heavier and/or repeated heavy storms occur. Flood waters can be deeper than they appear. Remember to never drive through flood waters and seek higher ground if flood waters threaten.
The best chance of seeing additional rainfall greater than an inch through Friday is over mainly the eastern half of the Permian Basin, the Lower Trans-Pecos, the Big Bend, and in the Presidio Valley/Marfa Plateau. Isolated locations may still see greater than 3 inches of rain before all is said and done.
A front Thursday night/Friday morning brings much cooler and drier conditions to the area this weekend! Highs plummet into the 50s and 60s areawide, with lows dropping into the 40s for most.
