Rain and thunderstorms return to Texas this weekend, worst to stay north of hardest hit areas

After more than a foot of rain caused historic flash flooding across South Central Texas on the morning of July 4, conditions are expected to deteriorate once again heading into the weekend. Guidance increasingly supports the return of showers and thunderstorms across much of west-central Texas, including portions of the Hill Country. The worst of the rain is expected to stay north and west of the hardest-hit areas but the NOAA's Weather Prediction Center has issued a flash flood risk for the area.
