⚠️ Before you or your pets get near Austin’s lakes & creeks, check the water first. We have recently observed blue-green algae in different parts of Lady Bird Lake & Lake Austin. As temperatures rise through summer, we expect to see more algae growing in our waterways. (1/4)

9 PM: radar coverage is still increasing slightly this evening over the eastern Hill Country, I-35 Corridor, & the Coastal Prairies. However, rainfall intensities have come down over the past hour. There is still a potential for flooding due to the soaked soils in the area.

During a storm, it’s hard to tell if there’s water on the road. If you encounter high water, don’t attempt to drive through it. If you must drive, stay away from creeks, trails, culverts, ponds, and other drainage infrastructure. Check for road closures @atxfloods

Durante una tormenta, es difícil saber si hay agua en la carretera. Si se encuentra con agua alta, no intente atravesarla. Si tiene que conducir, manténgase alejado de arroyos, senderos, alcantarillas, estanques y otras infraestructuras de drenaje.
