The National Weather Service reports bands of showers and thunderstorms will produce periods of tropical downpours through this weekend. When and where these bands will develop is difficult to pinpoint, but the threat for heavy rainfall from them will persist as long as an associated area of low pressure lingers in southern Texas. Much of the watch area is near-saturated from recent rainfall, and any additional heavy rainfall could quickly lead to flash flooding.

A flash wood watch has been extended until Sunday morning.

VIA will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates about VIA bus service disruption as necessary on our website, and through our social media channels, Facebook and Twitter.

 


Update: 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, 2018
The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for portions of south central Texas, including Bexar County through Saturday evening.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will impact the region. Widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall are expected through Saturday evening, with isolated pockets near 7 inches possible. Due to sensitivity of nearly-saturated grounds over the area, any additional heavy rains will result in quick run-off and an increased risk for flash flooding.

Route 96 – No Service on Vance Jackson between Wurzbach and Huebner.
