“It won’t take much additional rainfall to create major problems,” reads a NWS report.
Counties to the east of the Interstate 35 corridor — including Lee, Bastrop, Guadalupe, Fayette, Gonzales and Lavaca — are at the greatest risk of flash flooding and could receive up to 6 inches of rain through Saturday.
The rainfall will be the result of a cold front and upper-level disturbances combining with deep atmospheric pressure, according to meteorologists.
The melange could additionally produce tornadoes, heavy winds up to 70 mph and large hail.
