South Texas is bracing for an exceptional weather event as severe storms are expected to bring half a year’s worth of rain in just a few days. Governor Greg Abbott has activated state emergency response resources ahead of the anticipated deluge, which may result in significant flash flooding across the region. Flood Watches are in effect for multiple counties, including Houston, with warnings suggesting that up to 8 inches of rain could fall by the weekend. The San Antonio area is preparing for heavy downpours starting Wednesday, with thunderstorms forecasted to impact the region throughout the week. Residents are urged to take precautions, including avoiding driving in flooded areas as conditions worsen. The weather is expected to bring much-needed rainfall but poses substantial risks of flooding, particularly to low-lying regions.
