Severe Flood Watch is in effect for affected areas of Texas through 15 October 2026, 13:00, issued by the National Weather Service. The watch was issued and is in effect from 13 October 2026, 12:26. Affected Texas counties include Baylor, Foard, Hardeman, Knox and Wilbarger.
A Flood Watch generally indicates flooding could occur. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected, and very heavy rainfall rates could produce widespread rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches with a few locations as high as 5 inches.
Stay informed by monitoring later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) and local authorities or emergency services. If you are in flood-prone areas, you should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Consider moving to higher ground if water approaches and avoid driving through flooded roads. In an emergency, call 911.
