[SATLUG] OT: Rain threat for South Texas

[Geoff]

Accidents happen.  Forewarned is forearmed, and a hundred other cliche's 
apply, but the simple fact of the matter is; knowledge is power.

Please use this knowledge to keep your self (and your Linux gear) safe 
from Mother Nature.

Subject: Heavy Rain Threat Repositioning into South Central Texas


All,

A upper level low pressure area that produced flooding in North Texas 
and Oklahoma this weekend is expected to redevelop southward through the 
next two days.  That puts all of South Central Texas under threat of 
increased heavy rain and flash flooding today through Wednesday. 
We expect widespread showers and thunderstorms currently along and 
southeast of a Gonzales to Karnes City line will slowly spread 
northwestward to the IH35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin this 
afternoon and evening.  Most rain totals will be between 1 and 3 inches, 
but isolated amounts as high as 6 to 8 inches could result from repeat 
rainfall in the slow-moving storms.  A Flash Flood Watch is in effect 
along and east of a line from Kerrville to Pearsall to Carrizo Springs 
through 10 pm.

On Tuesday the low is expected to form scattered showers and 
thunderstorms closer to the IH35 corridor.  Again, most rain amounts 
will be between 1 and 3 inches, but repeat storms will produce isolated 
totals of 6 to 8 inches. 
The outlook for Wednesday is for the greatest rain threat to be south 
and west of a line from Del Rio to San Antonio to Pleasanton, with a 
possibility of some locations receiving as much as 8 inches.

Please emphasize "Turn Around, Don't Drown."

Please call if you have questions or concerns.
