...LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON... .Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue through this evening from near San Antonio westward into the Rio Grande plains south of Del Rio. Some of these showers and storms will produce locally heavy rainfall. Soils are saturated across much of the region and any additional heavy rain will result in a greater risk for flash flooding. Rainfall amounts up to 2 inches are expected, with a few spots approaching 4 inches, especially along and west of the the I-35 corridor south of San Antonio. The focus for heavy rainfall is expected to shift southward toward the middle Texas coast during the afternoon hours. Should the threat for flash flooding end sooner than this evening, the flash flood watch may be cancelled early.
