.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Friday night.)
Issued at 223 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026

A drier forecast for much of the area tonight, then rain chances
increase again Friday into Friday night. Rainfall has ended
across far southeast counties early this afternoon. A cold front
will move through the area tonight, bringing considerably cooler
temperatures to the region tomorrow. Most of the area will be dry
tonight, except for far southeast counties where some additional
rainfall is possible along the front, primarily east of a San Saba
to Junction line. However, not expecting any additional flooding,
as rainfall is not expected to be heavy. As such, the Flood Watch
has been canceled with this package.

Rain chances will increase again Friday into Saturday, as a
weakness aloft resides over the area, along with plenty of
moisture around. While widespread flooding is not anticipated,
additional rainfall over areas that received heavy rainfall last
night could lead to some localized flooding. The most favored
area for additional flooding concerns will be across the
northwest Hill Country, where rain totals between 4 and 7+ inches
occurred last night and this morning. There a slight risk of
excessive rainfall across this area for the tomorrow into
tomorrow night. Temperatures will be much cooler tomorrow,
with highs mainly in the mid and upper 70s.

mainly in the 70s Saturday and Sunday, warming into the 80s for
much of the area by the middle of next week. Overnight lows will
