Alert Details
The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio has issued a Flash Flood Warning. It is effective from 2:52 AM CDT on April 12, 2026, until 6:45 AM CDT on the same day.
Affected Areas
The warning affects Northwestern Edwards County and Northeastern Val Verde County in south central Texas. Specific locations include Loma Alta, Vinegarone, and Devils River State Nat Area Del Norte. This includes streams and drainages such as Middle Dolan Creek, Red Bluff Creek, Cow Creek, Devils River, Dolan Creek, Dry Devils River, Mailtrail Creek, West Dolan Creek, Buckley Draw, South Llano River, and Jack Creek.
What You Should Do
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Flooding is occurring or is imminent, so it is important to know your location relative to streams, rivers, or creeks, and campers and hikers should avoid these areas.
Expected Conditions
Doppler radar indicates thunderstorms producing heavy rain, with between 2 and 4 inches of rain already fallen and additional rainfall amounts up to 1 inch possible. This will result in life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses.
