Significant rainfall has led to deadly flash flooding in parts of Texas, prompting a flood watch from Killeen to Bexar County. Some areas have already received over a foot of rain, with forecasts predicting an additional 5 to 8 inches, and isolated locations potentially seeing up to 12 inches. 

Flash flood emergencies and river flood warnings are in effect for several counties, including Burnet, Travis, and Williamson. Residents in affected areas are advised to stay put unless water levels rise dangerously, in which case they should seek higher ground and contact emergency services.

More Texas rain still expected after deadly flash flooding

Flood watch in effect here from Killeen, TX right on down to Bear County in San Antonio. Lake Travis, those tributaries that feed into that also running very high this morning, shooting up very quickly because we've already seen more than a foot to a foot and a half of rainfall, and this rain is still forecast to come. So you've got in the orange 5 to 8, but there are a few areas that could exceed that up to a foot of rain. There are your flash flood emergencies kind of outlined in that pink area right there and surrounding that. You've got the flash flood warnings. River flood warnings also going again, not just to go on Loopy River. We're watching the San Gabriel River as well. This is your emergency for Burnett, Travis and Williamson counties. That means you need to stay put unless you've got a serious situation with water coming up surrounding you. You want to seek higher ground, get with emergency services, but again, stay put if you're in Marble Falls. You're included in this flash flood emergency Doppler radar estimates closing in on 14 inches of rain. So we're well over a foot and this area is still seeing very heavy rain. Just kind of sitting over that same area.
