Severe storms trigger flash flood alerts across Austin and Central Texas

Several counties across Central Texas in the US remain under flash flood warnings and flood alerts as heavy storms continue moving through the Austin area.

The National Weather Service issued Flash Flood Warnings for Blanco, Travis and Hays counties until 10:00 AM local time on Sunday.

Burnet and Williamson counties remain under warning until 9:00 AM, while Lee County is under alert until 8:15 AM.

Flood Warnings were also issued for Milam County until 7:00 PM on 16 June and for Travis County until 4:30 AM on 16 June.

Meanwhile, a Flood Advisory remains in place for Lee and Fayette counties until 9:45 AM.

The warnings come as strong storms bring heavy rainfall across the region, increasing the risk of dangerous flooding on roads, low-lying areas and near creeks and rivers.

Residents across Austin and surrounding communities have been urged to avoid flooded roads and monitor local weather updates as conditions continue to change.

The latest weather alerts affect several parts of Central Texas, including counties surrounding the Austin metro area, where repeated storms have raised concerns about flash flooding and travel disruptions.

Forecasters say additional rainfall could worsen conditions throughout the day, especially in areas already saturated by overnight storms.
