Flash Floods Sweep Through Central Texas as More Storms Loom This Week

Central Texas is grappling with the aftermath of intense flash flooding that struck overnight and into the early morning hours of Sunday, July 13, 2025, affecting multiple communities including San Saba, Llano, and Lampasas. The storms drenched parts of the Hill Country, inundating roads and low-lying areas, while triggering weather alerts and raising concerns about further rainfall in the coming days.

As the region recovers from the first wave of flooding, weather forecasts are signaling renewed threats, with heavy rain possible this afternoon, especially in areas west, northwest, and north of Houston. Conditions are expected to remain very warm and humid, creating the ideal setup for scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

Meteorologists are closely watching the radar for additional rounds of downpours, which could further impact already saturated grounds. Flash flooding remains a concern, especially in rural areas and near rivers or creeks, where water levels can rise quickly during sudden storms.

Looking ahead to Monday, more widespread downpours are expected, increasing the flood risk across a broader portion of southeast Texas. Local residents are urged to stay weather-aware and monitor updates from emergency management officials and meteorologists throughout the day.

By Wednesday and Thursday, the forecast shows signs of improvement, with fewer showers and rising temperatures. However, a developing low-pressure system in the eastern Gulf of Mexico may alter that trajectory.

Forecast models currently indicate the system is likely to stay small, weak, and remain well to the east, keeping Texas on the drier side of the circulation through mid-week. Still, with Gulf waters running unusually warm, forecasters caution that any shifts in the system’s path or strength could result in rainfall later in the week, particularly Friday and Saturday.

Officials and weather experts plan to monitor the Gulf system closely throughout the week and encourage residents across Texas to prepare for changing conditions, especially with summer storm activity peaking.
