10pm update: All showers and storms have fizzled out of Central Texas as of 9pm. This will lead into a hot and humid Father's Day and first day of Summer! Temps will be in the mid-90s for Central Texas with the heat index around 100 degrees. There's still about a 20% chance for pop-up thunderstorms around the Brazos Valley.
On Monday and all next week, temperatures will hover in the mid 90s with high humidity. Heat index will flirt with 105 on several days. Should the forecast increase closer to 110, we will likely see heat advisories get issued as the trend for late June is fairly hot and dry - dry as in little to no rain (it unfortunately will still be humid).
5pm update: The earlier Flash Flood Warning has expired. The storm over Grosebeck, Buffalo, and Centerville faded after 10am, but some roads may remain flooding and/or closed in the region. The runoff of water is mainly pooling into the Navasota River, where it is above flood stage along the Leon and Robertson county line.
A few new showers and storms started to pop=up around the Brazos Valley this afternoon and and mainly drifting northward towards Temple. A few showers or storms could reach Waco in the early evening with the last storms faded shortly after sunset or by 10pm tonight. These storms are far smaller in scale and intensity and the flood risk could be very low.
Remember to take action if you are under a Flash Flood Warning, which can simply be not driving if you don't have to. If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter at high ground. And stay away from river banks and known flood prone areas, all of which can be inundated with rapidly rising water levels.
8am update: From Meteorologist Thomas Patrick: The storms in that region began around 2am and are still stationary and stuck directly over Grosebeck and Centerville. Meaning it's rained for the better part of the past 6 to 7 hours and showing no sign of moving yet. Rain totals are still increases and water levels will keep rising fast as a result. Do not drive through this region of Central Texas until the flash flood warnings have expired, and avoid flooded roads at all costs.
Storms will be largely east of I-35 through the morning, additional pop-up thunderstorms are possible throughout all of Central Texas in the afternoon through about 8pm tonight. As we are seeing this morning, there is a flooding risk due to the nature of these slow moving thunderstorms.
