Flash flood threat increases for parts of Central Texas
A moderate risk of flash flooding has been highlighted for parts of Central Texas on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.
Places recently hit hard -- like Kerrville, Texas, and Burnet, Texas -- are inside this heightened potential for flash flooding, with any heavy rain and flash flooding that occurs over or adjacent to these areas likely to flow downstream via rivers that run through or nearby these devastated areas.

Rainfall rates up to 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible, with brief, isolated spurts of rainfall rates up to 3 to 4 inches per hour, according to the National Weather Service. This has the potential to bring high-impact flash flooding and rapid river rises.
The heaviest rain is currently to the north and west of Kerrville and Burnet toward the Junction and Killeen areas, where they have already seen between 1 to 3 inches of rain and some localized areas of up to six inches of rain in the span of six hours.
All of this heavy rain dumped into the nearby rivers, like the Lampasas River, which rose more than 22 feet in two hours earlier Sunday morning.
