Heavy Rain Pounds Texas Region Devastated by Floods, Bringing New Threat
Some flooding had already been reported in the northern parts of the Hill Country, forecasters say. The most rainfall is expected in the corridor between Austin and Dallas. There is a 30 to 40 percent chance that more than five inches of rain will fall within 24 hours.
Some flooding had already been reported in the northern parts of the Hill Country, Orlando Bermudez, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office for Austin and San Antonio, said early Sunday.
The Weather Prediction Center issued a “moderate” (level 3 out of 4) risk for flash flooding through early Monday morning across the region. The most rainfall was expected in the corridor between the Hill Country and the Dallas metro areas, forecasters said, where there was a 30 to 40 percent chance that more than five inches of rain would fall within 24 hours.
While the rainfall was not expected to be as extreme as the totals seen on July 4, which caused the flooding that killed at least 129 people, forecasters warned that the saturated ground from last week’s storms made the area highly vulnerable.
