The greatest threat will occur overnight as a line of storms moves west to east across the region. The saturated soils from recent rainfall heighten the risk of flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas.

A Flood Watch has been issued for parts of the Big Country from 6 p.m. Sunday through 6 a.m. Monday. Scattered showers are expected to develop early, with the heaviest rainfall likely during the evening and early morning hours. Residents are urged to avoid driving through flooded roads and to exercise caution during the severe weather.
