Flash flooding possible as more heavy rain expected this week
After a dry and beautiful weekend, we’ll have to keep our eyes to the skies once again this week as the threat for heavy rain and strong storms increases.
While no day this week is expected to be a washout, each day will bring a threat for scattered storms and, at times, torrential rainfall.

There may be a day or two where Central Texas won’t see wet weather, but through this week, we expect everyone across Central Texas to pick up at least 2 to 4 inches of rain. Locally, some spots could pick up more.

As you can imagine, waterways are high and soil is soaked. That means that any additional rainfall will likely run off quickly and cause flash flooding to happen sooner than it would normally.

For Monday, most of the day will be dry, however we anticipate a few storms to pop-up for the afternoon.

By Tuesday, more widespread rainfall is expected to develop across Central Texas. Rain chances bump up to 80%. Though, again, there will be many dry hours in the day.

Each day this week, a few of the storms could leave their mark, potentially packing large hail and damaging winds. The Storm Prediction Center has Central Texas highlighted in a one out of five (marginal) severe weather threat Monday and Tuesday.

May is typically our wettest and most active time of the year when it comes to weather and this forecast is a testament to that.
