Heavy rain Wednesday night, on top of what Central Texas has already seen earlier this week, is causing flooding issues throughout our area Thursday morning. With more rain moving through Thursday, conditions are expected to get worse.

FOX 7 Austin meteorologist Carlo Falco says that flash flooding is possible under rain-train-type storms and enhanced rainfall locations.  Up to four inches of rain is possible out of the heaviest thunderstorms, though a more widespread 0.75-2 inches of rain is more likely.
