***Time Sensitive Post- July 12th 10:00 PM***

Central and southern portions of our area including Brownwood, San Angelo, Brady, Mason, San Saba, and the I-10 corridor have been upgraded to a moderate risk for excessive rainfall overnight. Please see our previous post for our current thinking. Bottom line is that isolated totals of up to 9 inches of rain are possible in the moderate risk area overnight.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Brown County and much of West Central Texas, through Sunday afternoon, with additional rainfall possible.

A flood watch means that conditions are favorable for flooding to occur in a specific area, but flooding is not guaranteed. It's a heads-up to be prepared, as flooding could happen with little to no warning.
