Flash Flood Watch Statement as of 2:36 PM CDT on July 24, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from Friday morning
through Friday evening...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* a portion of southwest Texas... including the following areas...
Big Bend area... Davis/Apache Mountains area... Marfa Plateau...
Presidio valley and Terrell.

* From Friday morning through Friday evening

* showers and isolated thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall will
become more widespread Friday. Scattered rainfall amounts of 1
t0 2 inches... and isolated amounts of 2 to 4 inches... will be
possible. The lower trans Pecos and Big Bend region will have
the greatest chance of heavy rainfall since they will be closest
to the remnant mid level circulation of this tropical system.

* In addition to flash flooding... runoff from heavy rainfall in
these areas could result in flooding along the Rio Grande
River from Candelaria downstream through to the confluence
with the Pecos River.

A Flash Flood Watch means flash flooding is possible in or near
the watch area. If you are in the watch area... plan now for what
you will do if flash flooding develops. Stay informed and be
ready to act if you see flooding or if a Flash Flood Warning is
issued.
