From severe thunderstorms to flash floods, the state is experiencing a range of weather-related events that require vigilance and preparedness.

In Tulsa, a Flood Advisory has been issued for portions of northeast Oklahoma, including Creek, Rogers, and Tulsa counties.

Additional rainfall amounts are expected, which could result in further flooding in locations like Tulsa, Sand Springs, and Owasso.
Meanwhile, in Austin/San Antonio, a Flash Flood Warning has been extended for Western Edwards County.

In San Angelo, a Flood Warning has been issued for west central Texas, including Concho, Kimble, McCulloch, Menard, and Sutton counties. Excessive rainfall has led to flooding of rivers, creeks, and streams, with numerous roads closed and structures flooded. Residents in areas like Brady and Menard should be prepared for continued flooding impacts.
As severe weather events unfold across Texas, it is crucial for residents to stay informed, heed warnings from the NWS, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
