- There is an increased danger to lives and property due to flash
flooding. Flash flooding is likely and considerable flash
flooding is possible.

- Multiple rounds of heavy rain are possible through Thursday night
as an influx of moisture arrives from the remnants of a tropical
disturbance. This will coincide with an approaching upper level
low pressure system and an associated frontal boundary. High
precipitable water values will support efficient rainfall
production with this activity. Model guidance suggests heavy rain
and thunderstorms capable of producing rainfall totals in the 2
to 4 inch range across the watch area. Locally higher amounts of
7+ inches can occur.

...HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK...

The threat for very heavy rainfall and significant flash flooding is
increasing across west central Texas mainly Tuesday night through
Thursday. The combination of the remnants of Hurricane Polo from the
Pacific, abundant tropical moisture and a cold front will result in
periods of very heavy rainfall which may produce localized
significant flash flooding. Looks like the heaviest rainfall will
set up mainly east of a Sweetwater to Ozona line with widespread
2 to 3 inches. Isolated totals of around 10 inches are not out of
the question by Thursday evening mainly east of a Coleman to
Sonora line. Please keep up with the latest weather information
including watches and warnings.
