The Hill Country area in Texas was in a state of flooding on Monday, after a weekend with constant warnings and heavy rainfall. Another large -scale flood hit the affected area on Sunday, with the level of the Lampasa River rising by 9 meters. In some areas they were recorded from 20 to 25 cm of rain from Saturday night to Sunday.

The last few weeks in Texas have been extremely difficult. At least 129 people were killed by severe floods in the central state on the three days of July 4, and over 170 are still missing. Continuous thunderstorms caused flooding phenomena that in some places the water reached 30 to 38 cm.

Sunday’s floods forced rescue workshops to discontinue the detecting operations of those missing from previous deadly floods. However, meteorological forecasts show new rainfall and further risks.

12 different warnings for sudden floods have been issued in July, which demonstrates the ongoing danger to Texas. There are new storms almost daily.

As of July 1, some areas of the central state have received over 40 cm of rain. Specifically, 41.78 cm was recorded in Menard, Texas, while on May 26th the area had also received hail with a diameter of 15 cm. In the Mason of Texas, 37.25 cm of rain was recorded this month, while a meteorological station north of Bernett recorded 45.5 cm.

Most of the waters has ended up in the rivers of Guadeloupe, as Saba, Liano, Lampasa and Colorado, causing successive floods.

Continuous rainfall continued on Monday, with flood warnings prolonged until the evening. Thunderstorms began to occur in the morning, and were expected to expand to a greater extent and to be strengthened during the afternoon. Already at 9am (local time) many flood warnings had been issued.

An intercostal turbine system (MCV) was also located through a satellite moving north of Mexico Coawila. It is essentially a weak turbine in the atmosphere, a remnant of Sunday’s thunderstorms that have now weakened. This turbine favors the air raising in front of him, which enhances volatility and causes new episodes of rainfall and thunderstorms in Texas on Monday afternoon.

By night, an additional 7 to 13 cm of rain are expected, while in some areas heights may reach 18 to 23 cm.

The Frio River, below the Dry Frio point east of Uvalde, is projected to overflow 5.5 meters by level. The flow of water is expected to launch from 2 cubic meters per second to over 1,300 cubic meters – an increase of 667 times. It is a volume of water capable of filling an Olympic pool every 1.9 seconds.

When will the rains finally end?

Since Tuesday, the possibility of individual rains or thunderstorms has decreased significantly, and from Wednesday onwards, forecasts show dry weather. This marks a period of rest after two weeks of continuous flooding phenomena.

To completely eliminate the risk of floods in Texas, a strong cold front would be needed from the northwest, which would clean the atmosphere and carry the moisture back to the Gulf of Mexico.

However, there is no evidence that this will happen immediately, which means that other flooding may occur.

Even if there are no large -scale storm mechanisms, the atmosphere remains very wet, smaller scale phenomena, such as remnants of other storms or atmospheric disorders from neighboring states, can cause new thunderstorms.

There is also a possibility that a tropical system will develop in the southeast part of the US later in the week, which could bring heavy rains and risk of floods in East Texas.
