Heavy Rains and Flooding Expected in Central Texas
• Heavy rainfall is expected to impact central Texas this week as remnants of Hurricane Polo, a powerful Pacific storm, move inland after making landfall on the Baja Peninsula.
• The storm's moisture, combined with a slow-moving or stalling cold front, will bring repeated rounds of rain to areas such as Hill Country and North Texas.
Impact & Risks
The central Texas region, including Hill Country and the Metroplex, faces a significant risk of flash flooding due to heavy rainfall. The National Weather Service has issued a moderate risk warning for flash flooding on Wednesday and Thursday. Rainfall totals could reach up to 12 inches in some areas, which may lead to localized flooding and travel disruptions. Houston is expected to see less severe impacts, with rain accumulations of 1 to 4 inches through Sunday. Residents in flood-prone areas should remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
