Heavy rains move across Central Texas as cold front moves through the area

AUSTIN, TX -- A National Weather Service flash flood watch for South Central Texas was scheduled to expire Wednesday morning as a cold front passed through the region dropping heavy rain.

The service said Tuesday night that 1 to 2 inches of rain were expected with as much as 3 to 5 inches in some areas. With the heavy rain received last weekend, the forecasters said there would be rapid runoff of any new water. The watch was scheduled to expire at 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Late Tuesday a band of storms stretched from Del Rio to north of San Antonio, moving slowly to the east. Torrential rains left as much as a foot in a 12-hour period last weekend near Austin.
