Impact & Risks

The primary concerns are heavy rainfall and flooding, particularly in low-lying and urban areas. Flash flooding risks are significant on Thursday, with isolated flooding threats persisting into Friday and Saturday. The northwestern counties of the Brazos Valley are expected to face the highest flood risks. Additionally, isolated strong storms with wind gusts of 40–60 mph and small hail are possible, especially on Thursday. While the region has experienced dry conditions recently, the rapid accumulation of rain could overwhelm the soil's absorption capacity.
