Through the rest of the evening on Sunday, the NWS is predicting a level two of four (slight) risk of storms across the majority of South Central Texas. Rainfall amounts of two to four inches is expected, while some areas could see pockets of nine to 12 inches of rainfall in certain regions.
Several flood warnings and watches were issued across Central Texas on Sunday, including in the areas inundated by deadly flooding last week.
Near Loop 410 and Perrin Beitel on the Northeast Side, a wall of water swept more than a dozen vehicles into Beitel Creek — killing 11 of the 13 victims. The other two victims were found in separate flood-affected areas: near Leon Creek/Highway 90 and several miles upstream.
Just 24 hours after devastating floods struck the Hill Country, more rain continues to fall including in San Antonio. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the northeast part of San Antonio.
The flood watch will stay in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday. Isolated rainfall of up to 6 inches will be possible.
A federally funded project at Rice University is trying to tackle that problem — but in just two counties so far.
As we continue to grieve the loss of so many Hill Country flood victims, there is a lot of information being thrown around. KSAT wants to remind people what a “100-year flood” actually means.
