...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 115 AM CDT SATURDAY 
FOR SOUTH CENTRAL BURNET AND WEST CENTRAL TRAVIS COUNTIES...

At 1153 PM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
that heavy rain was falling across the warned area. Between 1 and 4 
inches of rain have fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 3 to 5 
inches in 1 hour. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are 
possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected 
to begin shortly.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing
         flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
         urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Marble Falls, Lakeway, Lago Vista, Meadowlakes, Spicewood, 
  Smithwick, Briarcliff and Point Venture.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are 
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 
roads. Find an alternate route.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

A mid to upper level low continues to move through our CWA this
afternoon. It has generally been weakening, but still has
pockets of stronger showers. Locally heavy rain is possible this
afternoon and the Flood Watch remains in effect. Rain chances
will decrease this evening, but 30%-40% POPs will continue over
the eastern half of the CWA tonight and Saturday. The upper
level disturbance will continue to slowly dissipate as it moves
toward the southeast. Rainfall amounts will be lower overall,
but locally heavy rain will be possible. Storm motion is
expected to more progressive and we don't expect any flooding.
Saturday night rain chances will decrease further. Low
temperatures tonight and tomorrow night will be near normal, but
highs Saturday will be below normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

The mid level feature will linger into Sunday. Moisture levels
will remain elevated enough to allow for isolated to widely
scattered showers and thunderstorms over Hill Country and Rio
Grande Plains. The subtropical ridge will build more fully over
our area next week. Chances of showers and thunderstorms wane
as the airmass dries under increasing subsidence. The only rain
chances will be with the seabreeze near the Coastal Plains each
afternoon Monday and Tuesday. Increased sunshine will lead to
temperatures warming to near to slightly above average.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 639 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

An organized storm complex continues to drift slowly east across the
region with bands of RA and isolated TSRA. TSRA coverage is
decreasing and prevailing CIGs have lifted to VFR for most
terminals. -RA redevelops and prevails at KAUS by 08Z as some models
are hinting at increasing convection over the area. Not confident
enough to specify specifics and will continue to monitor and amend as
needed. Added TEMPOs for both KSAT and KSSF for possibility of -RA
tomorrow morning around 11Z to 15Z. -RA could continue through the
late morning and early afternoon for both sites as well. For KDRT
expect mainly VFR CIGs with TEMPO for early morning for possible
MVFR CIGs before returning to VFR conditions for rest of TAF period.
