A Severe Flood Warning is in effect for Donley County, Texas, until 12:15AM CDT on July 1, 2026, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The warning covers the entire county, including areas such as Clarendon, Howardwick, Hedley, Lelia Lake, and Greenbelt Lake. This alert indicates that flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.
A Flood Warning means that current or anticipated flooding is imminent or occurring. Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations may occur. Streams may continue to rise due to excess runoff from earlier rainfall. Low-water crossings may be inundated with water and could be impassable. Expect many areas of slow-moving or standing water.
For safety, contact emergency services at 911 if you encounter life-threatening conditions. Follow guidance from the NWS and local authorities. Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Stay away from river banks and culverts, as they can become unstable and unsafe.
