Dangerous flooding is ongoing in Texas, with significant flash flood risks persisting across the region. Heavy rainfall totaling 3 to more than 5 inches in just hours has triggered flash flooding in areas like Waco and Austin. In Waco, flooding on I-35 stranded vehicles and prompted water rescues, with Texas Game Wardens responding to numerous calls for people trapped in rising waters. Videos from the scene show submerged cars and first responders assisting stranded individuals, including one eyewitness who described being trapped on the interstate and crediting a retaining wall with preventing a worse tragedy.

A stationary frontal boundary across the South is maintaining daily flash flood threats through much of the week. A flood watch remains in effect for central and southern Texas, extending into parts of Louisiana and southwest Mississippi through Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, with possible torrential rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour. Houston faces a moderate risk of excessive rainfall and flash flooding for four consecutive days, while broader southeast Texas and surrounding states could see widespread 4 to 6 inches of rain through Thursday, with isolated totals exceeding half a foot or more in the Houston area.
