Rain could cause flooding at some low water crossings. Check for road closures at ATXFloods.com or follow ATXfloods.

Anytime you see water flowing over a road, find another route. Never drive around barricades at low water crossings. #TurnAroundDontDrown

With heavy rain in the expected forecast, there is a chance of flooding in Austin. If you encounter high water on the roadway, don’t attempt to drive through it. As little as 6 inches of water can cause unsafe driving conditions.
