Texas Faces Flood Risk With 3-7 Inches of Rain
US · Published Sep 28, 2026
• Texas is bracing for significant rainfall this week, with widespread precipitation expected across the state.
• A combination of deep moisture and a stalled upper-level low-pressure system, enhanced by remnants of Hurricane Polo, is driving this weather pattern.

Impact & Risks

Flooding is a primary concern, particularly midweek along the I-35 corridor. A Level 3 of 4 flood risk has been issued for several regions, including the Panhandle, West Texas, and the Borderland on Tuesday, and areas like Texoma, North Texas, and the Hill Country on Wednesday. Rapid-onset flooding is possible, especially in areas where heavy rain falls in a short period. The baked, drought-stricken ground may exacerbate runoff, leading to water pooling in low-lying areas and potential road closures.
