Looking Ahead: wildfire danger is expected to increase across East & Central Texas as we approach the weekend.🔥
Gusty winds behind a cold front could raise the potential for wildfires.
Now is the time to make a plan and be prepared to follow directions from local officials.

Even with currently dry conditions, rivers are expected to respond to locally heavy rainfall across west Texas over the next three (3) days. Rapid onset flooding in small streams is possible and dangerous. Stay tuned to your local weather office for updates. #txwx #flood
ALT Forecast rainfall totals up to 5-inches across west Texas could lead to elevated river flows and rapid onset flooding. Even with ongoing drought conditions and rivers trending below normal flows, the river flood risk will be driven by observed rainfall rates and location.

This weekend is mostly clear of rainfall in WGRFC's area (besides light rain in NM and CO) despite the Tropical storm and Hurricane on either side of WGRFC. Next week though we'll be seeing moisture from Hurricane Simon come our way.
