KERRVILLE, Texas - A catastrophic and deadly flooding disaster devastated portions of central Texas over the past few days. More rain is in the forecast that will not only raise fears of additional flooding in Texas, but it could impact search and rescue operations across the region.
Torrential rain led to multiple Flash Flood Emergencies across south-central Texas starting on the Fourth of July, with forecasters issuing dire warnings of a "deadly flood wave" rushing down Texas’ Guadalupe River.

Among the dead were at least 28 children, many of whom were young girls at a summer camp and sleeping when the disaster began to unfold.
Now, as hundreds of people continue their desperate search for survivors, a new flash flood threat has emerged.

Texas flooding death toll continues to rise, dozens remain missing
The death toll from catastrophic and historic flooding in Texas continues to rise as first responders continue search and rescue operations in several counties. FOX weather Meteorologist Bayne Froney was in Kerr County with the latest on July 6, 2025.
"There still is that potential for floods later on (Sunday)," FOX Weather Meteorologist Bayne Froney said. "Areas need to be prepared and need to make sure that they are also watching the skies, staying weather-aware throughout the rest of the day (Sunday) as isolated showers and storms continue."
Froney has been on the ground in Kerr County since shortly after the deadly flooding disaster began to unfold in Texas and has been warning of the potential for more rain and flooding as the weekend comes to an end.

"The (Weather Prediction Center) said there could be times when the rain rate is 2 to 4 inches per hour," she said. "That's heavy, heavy rainfall. So, just be incredibly careful and just take these warnings and watches seriously."
NOAA's Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has placed a large portion of south-central Texas in a Level 1 out of 5 flash flood threat on Sunday. However, many communities impacted by flooding over the weekend have been placed in a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat.

We're going to keep you updated and continue to monitor the situation here on the ground in Kerrville, as well as throughout Kerr County, and also throughout the state of Teas over the next day or so," Froney said.
The FOX Forecast Center said that the threat of torrential rain and thunderstorms will continue until at least Monday. In addition, river and lake flooding will also continue through the next several days.
For example, the FOX Forecast Center said that the Guadalupe River in Bloomington, Texas, more than 200 miles downstream from the river in Hunt, Texas, is not forecast to reach minor flood stage until Wednesday.
