Latest official-source information

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...A portion of southwest Texas, including the following
areas, Rio Grande Valley of Eastern Hudspeth County, Salt Basin and
Southern Hudspeth Highlands.

* WHEN...Through Wednesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Low-water crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- An early season back door cold front will interact with a late
season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds
of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region this
afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may
tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end
precipitation totals. The most critical period with the heaviest
rain potential will likely be tonight into Wednesday morning.
