THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

LOOK FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND ASSOCIATED FLASH
FLOODING TO CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...SOME LOCATIONS
MAY RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES...ESPECIALLY WEST OF A
LINE FROM JUNCTION...TO EDEN...TO ABILENE...TO HASKELL. IN
ADDITION TO FLASH FLOODING...CREEKS AND DRAWS MAY RISE ABOVE THEIR
ABILITY TO CONTAIN ADDITION RUNOFF.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

AS WHAT REMAINS OF TROPICAL STORM ERIN CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY
NORTHWEST...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO
BE THE MAIN THREAT...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AREAS OF WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM SONORA TO BROWNWOOD.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED. HOWEVER...WE ENCOURAGE ALL
SPOTTERS AND RAINFALL OBSERVERS TO REPORT FLOODING OR HEAVY
RAINFALL.
