The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch in effect through 7 p.m. today, July 7, for portions of south central Texas including Comal, Guadalupe and Hays counties.
The watch area includes the cities of Llano, Fredericksburg, Bastrop, Uvalde, Blanco, Georgetown, Lockhart, Bandera, Austin, Rocksprings, San Antonio, Boerne, Hondo, New Braunfels, Seguin, Leakey, Kerrville, San Marcos, Giddings, and Burnet.
There remains a threat of flash flooding from slow-moving heavy rains overnight and through the day on Monday somewhere over the watch area.
The weather service in New Braunfels said it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where isolated heavy amounts will occur.
An uptick in coverage and intensity of scattered showers and storms is possible overnight near the I-35 corridor and eastern Hill Country, developing west through the day Monday.
Excessive runoff may result in dangerous flash flooding of low-lying areas, rivers/creeks and low-water crossings.
Local rainfall amounts of two to four inches — with isolated amounts of up 10 inches — are possible somewhere in the watch area.
Rainfall rates will be very intense in the heaviest showers and storms.
Any additional heavy rainfall over the hardest-hit areas of the past few days will lead to rapid runoff and flash flooding.
