Last weekend’s rainfall helped improve soil moisture in much of the eastern half of Texas, but only small increases in reservoir pools were observed due to dry soils. We expect reservoir pools to continue a decreasing trend with a dry long range forecast. #txwx

Last weekend’s rainfall helped improve soil moisture and thus drought conditions in much of the northern half of Texas. #txwx #drought

The month of October brought a mix of weather events for the WGRFC in TX, NM and Southern CO. Heavy rainfall in Southern Colorado from post tropical moisture created flash and river flooding while much of Texas only received half of its normal monthly rainfall. #txwx #nmwx #cowx

WGRFC forecasters monitor 13 river basins from Colorado down through New Mexico and across Texas. Next up, we'll highlight the Lavaca River and what makes it unique.

WGRFC forecasters monitor for rapid onset flooding during rainfall events. Certain risk factors can make rapid onset flooding more likely in your location if they are present. #txwx #nmwx

With snow season slowly getting underway, here is a primer on WGRFC's water supply forecasts, which can be found here: weather.gov/wgrfc/wsp_fore… #cowx #nmwx

Drought conditions continue across much of WGRFC's area, and with warm and dry La Nina conditions forecast, reservoirs will continue a slow decline in pool levels. #nmwx #txwx

Although no river flooding is currently forecast for the WGRFC area, long range hydrologic forecasts are available at water.noaa.gov , which show the probabilities of reaching flood stage over the next 3 months. #txflood #nmflood

Per Polk County Emergency Management, the Carter Lake Dam has been compromised. A Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for areas downstream, including Henry Darden Rd, Community Dr, and Herb Collins Rd. Local officials are urging residents to evacuate immediately. #TXwx #HOUwx

Climate Prediction Center (CPC) outlooks for November suggest chances for improved drought conditions are slim over the next month. #txwx #nmwx #drought

A continued downward trend is occurring with potential relief due to rainfall late this weekend into next week. #drought

Drought degradations continue to worsen in Central and South Texas. Rainfall chances over the next two weeks would be beneficial to the area as the soils are able to absorb it. #drought

Widespread rainfall expected across North Central and Northeast Texas next week. River rises are expected. Monitor the forecasts for next week.

An active weather pattern returns by midweek. Keep an eye on the forecast as more details will become available in the coming days.

There will be two rounds of rainfall that is expected over the next seven days. Locally heavy rainfall will generate rises on streams and rivers. There are low end chances of river flooding

Two rounds of heavy rainfall across Texas increase the potential for elevated river flows through next week. Stay tuned to your local weather office for the most up to date information. #txwx #rivers #flood

Waves of rainfall over the next week could result in action to minor flood impacts across Central Texas. Seek alternate routes if water is covering a roadway and stay tuned to your local weather office for the most up to date information. #txws #flood #rivers
