The flood watch, in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday, applies to Bexar, Blanco, Burnet, Gillespie, Hays, Kerr, Llano, Travis and Williamson counties.

The region of Texas that suffered tremendous loss last week because of heavy rain and flooding is once again in danger of taking in more water. On Sunday morning, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the epicenter of the catastrophic Independence Day flooding event.

Another round of heavy rains is drenching central Texas with “life-threatening flash flooding,” according to the National Weather Service, forcing first responders in Kerrville to suspend search-and-rescue operations looking for the remaining missing after the deadly floods that took place last week.
