Flash Flooding Possible For San Antonio And Hill Country

National Weather Service

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the entire San Antonio area and the Hill Country from 1 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Saturday.

There is the possibility of widespread 2 to 4 inches of rainfall with isolated totals of 6 to 7 inches from slow moving and training thunderstorms.

Rapid runoff from heavy rainfall will likely result in flash flooding of creeks and streams, low water crossings, and urban areas normally subject to flooding.  Recent rainfall along and east of Interstate 35 over the past few weeks has led to saturated soils which may cause flash flooding to occur with less rainfall than usual, posing an elevated threat to life and property.
