More Flooding Expected In South Texas Save Email Print

A | A | A

(August 25, 2008)—Residents of deep South Texas awoke Monday to another flash flood watch after a weekend of torrential rains swamped the already saturated region.

More showers were moving across the border from Mexico.

Jose Garcia, the chief of police and fire in the Rio Grande Valley town of Roma, said Roma received another four inches of rain Sunday, causing new flooding in areas that had begun to dry out and sending nearly 60 residents scurrying back to a shelter.

Several people had to be rescued from their homes, he said.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for Starr, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg and Zapata counties until Monday night and predicted as many as four more inches of rain from storms expected to begin by midmorning.

The forecast attributed the rains to "abundant tropical moisture" and disturbances in the middle layers of the atmosphere over northeast Mexico.

It has rained off and on for more than a week in an area already sopping from Hurricane Dolly.

More than 13 inches of rain fell one week ago in and around Roma, a town of about 10,000 residents 210 miles south of San Antonio.

Cold Night...Gusty, Warm Tuesday!
From Rusty Garrett:

A cool, windy afternoon will evolve into a cold overnight with light winds, but the winds will return to the south by morning and become strong and gusty again by midday.
With dormant vegetation and very low relative humidity values, there is serious concern about grass and brush fires. A Red Flag Warning will be in effect Tuesday for virtually all of the News10 viewing area. Please heed any burn bans that may apply to your area.

Temperatures will warm to above normal readings Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of the next cold front, which will swing through the area late Wednesday, bringing us another round of windy and cooler weather for the end of the workweek. A slow warming trend is expected this weekend.
