Latest official-source information
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...A portion of the Rolling Plains of northwest Texas,
including the following counties, Dickens, Kent, King and
Stonewall.
* WHEN...Until 1 AM CDT Thursday.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
crossings may be flooded.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Showers and thunderstorms are expected today. The strongest
storms will be capable of producing very high rain rates, and
this combined with individual storms training repeatedly across
the same areas may result in flash flooding.
