A flash flood watch continues through Wednesday for much of Central Texas. The heavy rain following Hermine's path across the Hill Country continues to push rivers and streams out of their banks, flooding roads.
The Austin area has a 60 percent chance of showers and storms.
A flood warning was issued for Barton Creek at Loop 360. Water had risen to nearly 12 feet by 9am; its flood stage is 8 feet. Moderate flooding is occurring and major flooding is forecast by the weather service. The river is expected to continue rising to near 13.2 feet by this afternoon but will fall below flood stage tonight. At 14 feet major flooding covers lower areas of Barton Springs pool downstream. Jogging and biking trails in the lower flood plain are flooded.
A flood warning was also been issued for Onion Creek at Highway 183. Water had reached nearly 19 feet, almost two feet above its flood stage. However, levels were expected to recede throughout the day. At 19.0 feet, Onion Creed was expected to have minor flooding in its lowest areas of the
flood plain with no damage. Low roads and bridges may flood.
