Scattered near flood to minor flood conditions will continue for several days. Looking ahead, rain chances increase again this weekend. Significant river flooding is not expected at this time, but stay tuned for updates. #txflood

Ample rainfall over the last month has led to normal to above normal streamflow levels in rivers across much of the eastern half of Texas. This latest round of rainfall this last weekend resulted in minor river flooding on the Trinity River in North Texas. #txflood

Widespread rainfall has been ongoing in North Texas overnight and through this morning with the highest amounts exceeding 4 inches south of the DFW metroplex. This has resulted in river responses including forecast minor river flooding on the Trinity River at Dallas. #txflood

Heavy rainfall is forecast to continue this evening in much of North and East TX, bringing a potential for new action stage to minor river flooding in the area. Stay weather aware and follow your local weather forecast office for the latest updates. #txwx #txflood

Rainfall is forecast to continue this weekend for much of North, Central and coastal areas of TX. We are expecting isolated higher flows in rivers where heavier rainfall occurs, but no significant river flooding is forecast. #txwx

Upper soils have saturated, especially in the west and along the TX coast, thanks to previous rounds of rain. With weekend rainfall in the forecast, this could lead to some elevated flows in NM and TX though significant river flooding is not expected at this time. #txwx #nmwx
5-day rainfall totals forecast over the weekend could lead to elevated flows particularly in the west and coastal TX where upper soils are starting to saturate thanks to previous rounds of rain. Significant river flooding is not expected at this time.

While slightly below storage volume from this time last year, reservoirs in the Nueces basin have increased since last month thanks to waves of rainfall. The current flood wave passing through upstream of Lake Corpus Christi will be a welcome addition to the water supply. #txwx
Reservoir storage in the Nueces basin is very low, however, totals have increased over the last month thanks to waves of rainfall. Elevated flows upstream of Lake Corpus Christi are routing downstream to eventually benefit local water supply.

Climate Outlooks for June suggest the possibility for drought improvements in Texas and New Mexico which will be a welcome relief for parched soils. #txwx #nmwx #drought #flood
June Climate Outlooks for drought, precipitation, and temperature suggest that the possibility for drought improvements across TX and NM are in the cards.

Heavy rainfall potential exists for western TX and eastern NM this week. Localized flash flooding is possible, but river flooding is not expected. Stay tuned to your local NWS Weather Forecast Office for flash flood-related updates.

Plentiful rainfall in May has increased river streamflows and improved ongoing drought conditions in Texas, but drought conditions persist across our region. Extreme and worse drought conditions have gradually decreased in area though. #drought #txflooding

Here is a look at our current river forecasts in the wake of heavy rainfall yesterday and with some additional rainfall to come. This rainfall, along with plentiful rainfall over the past month, has also resulted in an increase in statewide reservoir storage. #txwx #txreservoirs
This graphic shows our current river forecasts on the left, showing action stage to moderate flood forecasts. On the right is current statewide reservoir storage, indicating many nearly full reservoirs across most of the state and in increase in storage from one month ago.

Probabilistic river forecasts indicate a chance of isolated minor flooding mid-week,. By late week, there is a low end chance for isolated moderate flooding and more widespread minor flooding across the state. #txflood #txwx

Rainfall over the past 5 days was widespread 2-4 inches in Texas with isolated more than 10 inches near the coast. This has made near-surface soils wet in many locations. Additional rainfall in these areas will likely produce runoff and possible river flooding. #txflood #txwx

Multiple rounds of rainfall mostly impacting Coastal TX, but also scattered areas in Central TX, will continue this weekend. By Sunday there should be more of a focus on southeastern TX. Scattered river flooding can be expected to develop. #txflood #txwx
