Texas Braces for Potential Catastrophic Flooding as 10–20 Inches Forecast West of San Antonio

Forecasters warn of considerable to catastrophic flooding through Thursday along the U.S. 90 corridor west of San Antonio, with 10–20 inches of rain possible and multiple rivers (Pecos, Rio Grande, Nueces, Frio, Medina, San Antonio) at risk of flooding; hardest-hit counties include Medina, Frio, Uvalde, Kinney, Maverick, Zavala, Val Verde, Edwards, Real and Bandera, while areas outside the worst forecast could still see 2–6 inches. Kerrville has reported high water and road closures. The threat follows last year’s Kerr County floods and prompted a disaster declaration by Gov. Abbott for 59 counties. Residents are urged to monitor forecasts, avoid flooded roads, and have emergency supplies ready as new flash-flood warnings and shelters are reported across the region.
