Rivers across the Texas Hill Country remained elevated on Friday after the region recorded more than two feet of rain since Monday. The heaviest downpours had tapered off, but water levels had not yet peaked in several areas. Rescue crews worked through the day to assist residents in flooded zones. Officials said some roads stayed closed and access remained limited in low-lying sections.
Water levels and forecasts The National Weather Service continued to monitor river gauges across multiple counties. Forecasters said additional rises were possible in the next 24 hours even without new heavy rain. CBS News reported that emergency teams remained on standby while water receded slowly in upstream sections.
