339 AM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026

...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM CDT EARLY THIS 
MORNING FOR EASTERN BANDERA AND CENTRAL MEDINA COUNTIES...

At 339 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 6 inches of rain have 
fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing
         flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar.

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

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Hondo, Bandera, New Fountain, Quihi, Hill Country State Natural 
  Area, Mico, Lakehills, D'Hanis, Bandera Falls, Pipe Creek, 
  Kronkosky State Natural Area, Government Canyon State Natural Area 
  and Lake Medina Shores.

Light to moderate rains continue to fall over the warned area, with 
an additional 1/4 to 1/2 inch possible through 5 AM. This additional 
rain could maintain elevated flows on area creeks and streams and 
also further add to the flooding of poor drainage areas.

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.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where 
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become 
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or 
creeks.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
1036 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Concern for locally heavy rain with isolated instances of flash
  flooding during the overnight into this morning; greatest area
  of concern along and south of the I-10/US Highway 90 corridor.

- Lingering of low to medium (20-40%) rain and storm chances for
  this afternoon through Sunday morning before a drier pattern
  establishes.

- Summer heat featuring elevated heat indices through next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 1035 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026

A lull in activity occurred through the evening hours behind the
outflow/frontal boundary that had advanced across the region earlier
today. That boundary had sparked some isolated to scattered rain and
storms but also some significant relief to the hazardous heat we had
experienced recently. Several short term guidance members show an
increase in rain and storm coverage into and through the overnight
hours tonight, with the greatest concentration generally near and to
the south of the I-10/US HWY 90 corridor. This could be associated
with or at least an extension of a storm complex that has developed
just to the west of the Rio Grande across Mexico down by Laredo. The
activity may also connect with the nearby boundary, sparking
additional activity. Rainfall rates with the overnight activity
could become quite heavy with rates in excess of 2-3 inches per hour
at times. Given this potential, isolated instances of flash flooding
will remain possible. Activity could push south or southeastward
into the CRP CWA near or not too long after sunrise. I'll continue
to note that the confidence on the rain and storms remains low given
the chaotic nature of the recent storm complexes within the weak
steering flow aloft.

Later today remains dependent on how the atmosphere recovers from
the possible overnight into early morning activity. Overall, heat
indices should remain below heat advisory criteria but could reach
in excess of 100 degrees for locations along the I-35 corridor, and
within the Coastal and Rio Grande Plains. Enough instability could
establish with daytime heating where isolated to scattered shower
and storm activity will be possible from the afternoon into the
night, mainly to the east of the Rio Grande. Activity may linger
into Sunday morning.

Sunday afternoon then looks to start the drying trend regarding the
area rain chances and this continues onward into the long term as
the long term forecast discussion below highlights. Mid-level
ridging remains in control to our west along the Arizona/New Mexico
border and Northern Mexico. It expands a bit father east into West
Texas Sunday and this would kick the broad troughiness that is over
the region currently, to the east. Heat then returns to being the
primary story with the afternoon highs in the mid to upper 90s and
heat indices peaking between 100 to 110 degrees. We'll monitor area
extent of the heat indices near or above 108 as we get closer in
time to evaluate a possible issuance of a Heat Advisory.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Saturday)
Issued at 1035 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026

Mid-level ridging remains anchored through much of the long term
period to our west across Northern Mexico to near or just south of
the Arizona/New Mexico border. The eastern periphery of the ridge
will continue to push into West Texas. For South-Central Texas,
we'll remain under a northerly flow aloft. The forecast will remain
mostly rain free but with the northerly flow, we'll have to keep a
close eye on any convection to the north that would try to slide
southward. For now, majority of the guidance favors keeping the
activity across Oklahoma/Arkansas with some activity reaching
southward into the northern half of Texas. Otherwise, a persistent
south-southeasterly low-level flow will keep hot and humid weather
in place with elevated heat indices. Afternoon highs generally
remain in the mid 90s while the overnight lows fall into the mid
to upper 70s.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 646 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026

All area airports are enjoying VFR conditions and the forecast
calls for those conditions to remain across the I-35 terminals
through at least midnight tonight.Then, MVFR cigs develop
overnight and stay through mid Saturday morning. There may be some
showers and storms overnight across South Central Texas but
difficult to pinpoint as of now since hires models are having a
hard time resolving tonight's weather. Confidence is a bit better
for KDRT as storms are ongoing over northeast Mexico and looking
to be moving to the east and getting closer to the Rio Grande
Plains/Mexico border. A southeast flow is forecast to dominate the
local area through this aviation forecast cycle with speeds of 5
to 10 knots and occasional higher gusts especially during storm
activity. VFR conditions return mid to late Saturday morning and
continue through the evening for all area sites.
