Weather Impact Alert for heavy rain starting mid-week across South-Central Texas. Heat hangs on through Tuesday, then a slow-moving front and deep tropical moisture raise shower and thunderstorm chances beginning Wednesday. The heaviest rain is expected Wednesday night through Friday morning, especially Thursday. Forecasters warn storms can be tropical in nature, with high rain rates and a growing flash-flood risk.
The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office says widespread rain mid to late week could produce flooding, particularly Wednesday night to Friday morning. Local forecasts call for about 2 to 4 inches in many areas, with isolated 4 to 6 inches or more in the Hill Country and other bullseyes. Flood risk is already at a slight level in much of the region and may rise to moderate on Thursday. Behind the front, temperatures should drop into more typical fall readings for the weekend. The KENS article page itself did not return a full text version, so details above also draw on the same-day regional forecast.
