Flood Watch issued July 17 at 7:22AM CDT until July 17 at 7:00PM CDT by NWS San Angelo TX

Details

* WHAT…Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE…A portion of west central Texas, including the following
counties, Brown, Coke, Coleman, Concho, Crockett, Fisher, Irion,
Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, Nolan, Runnels, San Saba,
Schleicher, Sterling, Sutton, Taylor and Tom Green.

* WHEN…Until 7 PM CDT this evening.

* IMPACTS…There is a potential for life threatening flooding within
the watch area. Considerable to locally catastrophic flash flooding
impacts are likely for portions of the Northern Edwards Plateau
including portions of Crockett and Sutton counties. Excessive
runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other
low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise
out of their banks. Flooding will occur in poor drainage and urban
areas. Low-water crossings will be flooded. Extensive street
flooding is likely and flooding of creeks and rivers is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected over portions of
West Central Texas through this evening. High moisture values
will fuel highly efficient rain-producing storms, with model
guidance indicating near-stationary clusters capable of producing
2 to 4 inches of rain per hour. This could lead to additional
rainfall totals today of 2 to 6 inches over the Watch area, with
isolated totals even higher.
