Flood threat continues Friday as rainfall moves to West Texas

Storms once again struck parts of Central and West Texas overnight Thursday into Friday morning, leading to more flash flood warnings in areas that have already experienced torrential rainfall over the past week.

Kerr, Edwards, Real, Crockett, Schleicher, Sutton and Mason counties were among the areas under flash flood warnings Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Multiple rivers in Texas, including the Guadalupe, Pedernales, Nueces, Rio Grande, San Antonio, Llano and Frio rivers were also under flood warnings.

Friday's additional rainfall risk comes after it was confirmed two people died in floods that struck the Kerrville and Uvalde areas. Thursday's flooding led to evacuations, hundreds of rescues, and damage to roads and buildings.

Some cities in Texas, including Ingram, Uvalde and Kerrville, have seen more than 20 inches of rain between Monday and Thursday, according to preliminary NWS data.
