The Highland Lakes area is under a flash flood watch until Thursday at 10 p.m.
The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio issued a flash flood watch for Llano, Burnet, Williamson, Blanco, Travis and a number of surrounding counties early Thursday morning.
Meteorologists stated that the watch continues for all of south Central Texas.
“Locally heavy rainfall is expected for much of today and early evening as an upper level disturbance pushes across the area and interact with a surface stationary boundary just to the south of highway 90. One to three inches of rainfall are expected over already saturated grounds due to recent heavy rain episodes. Flash flooding is possible.”
The major concern is runoff from highly saturated ground.
“Soils are already very saturated and most of the rain will runoff into area creeks, streams and low lying areas,” the watch read.
