Special Weather Statement issued September 28 at 10:54AM CDT by NWS San Angelo TX

The threat for very heavy rainfall and significant flash flooding is increasing across west central Texas mainly Tuesday night through Thursday. The combination of the remnants of Hurricane Polo from the Pacific, abundant tropical moisture and a cold front will result in periods of very heavy rainfall which may produce localized significant flash flooding. Looks like the heaviest rainfall will set up mainly east of a Sweetwater to Ozona line with widespread 2 to 3 inches. Isolated totals of around 10 inches are not out of the question by Thursday evening mainly east of a Coleman to Sonora line. Please keep up with the latest weather information including watches and warnings.

SAFETY and DATA MESSAGE

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Lakeway.

Use the Radar Maps link provided to understand the trajectory of a storm.
