00:00Why is a weekend storm raising flash flood concerns across southern Texas?
00:04A developing weather system is expected to bring widespread rain and thunderstorms across south Texas on Saturday and Sunday.
00:11As the system moves east, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will help fuel repeated rounds of rainfall.
00:17The National Weather Service forecasts around 2 to 4 inches of rain across deep south Texas,
00:23with isolated areas potentially receiving 5 to 7 inches.
00:27Communities near Corpus Christi, Laredo, and the Rio Grande Valley could see some of the heaviest downpours.
00:33The concern is localized flash flooding, especially where storms repeatedly pass over the same areas.
00:40Forecasters have placed deep south Texas under a level 1 risk for excessive rainfall.
00:45Drivers should never attempt to cross flooded roads, where water can hide dangerous conditions or washed-out surfaces.
00:52The exact location of the heaviest rainfall remains uncertain,
00:55so residents should monitor local weather updates throughout the weekend.
