Flood Watch

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...A portion of West Central Texas, including the following counties, Concho, Crockett, Irion, Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, San Saba, Schleicher, Sutton and Tom Green.

* WHEN...From 9 PM CDT this evening through Thursday evening.

* IMPACTS...There is a potential for life threatening flooding within the watch area. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected over portions of West Central Texas through early Thursday evening. A series of upper-level disturbances will interact with an influx of tropical moisture across the region through much of this week. High precipitable water values will fuel highly efficient rain-producing storms, with model guidance indicating near-stationary clusters capable of producing 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain per hour. This could lead to storm totals of 2 to 5 inches over the Watch area with isolated areas seeing 8+ inches. The highest threat centers along the I-10 corridor, extending north into the southern portions of the Concho Valley and Heartland. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
