and given current radar estimates in the heavier clusters... an
additional 2 to 4 inches of rainfall are possible over the
warned area through the early afternoon hours. Numerous roads
throughout the warned area are already closed.
Secondary roads... low water crossings and bridges are expected
to flood across the warned area during the next few
hours. Motorists should not enter low water crossings as 80
percent of flood fatalities occur this way.

* Runoff from this excessive rainfall will cause flash flooding to
occur. Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Campbellton... Canyon Lake dam... Dripping Springs... Floresville...
Jourdanton... Karnes City... Kenedy... Kosciusko... Lockhart...
Luling... New Braunfels... Pleasanton... Poth... San Marcos... Seguin...
