Austin weather: Flash flooding in parts

Some areas in Central Texas have been hit with 8 to 12 inches of rain since Monday. Zack Shields has details.

Another day and another round of heavy rain and storms. 

The National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning until 6:00 p.m. for Caldwell County, Bastrop County, Lee County, and Fayette County.

The rain train continues to remain strong. Areas east of Austin had been under a Flash Flood Watch which has since ended. 

With a saturated ground in those locations, more rain will run off quicker and could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas. 

Most of the rain will happen this morning and then we will get a lull in the action before the last round of heavy rain moves in this evening.
