    During and after flooding be sure to listen to local officials. Stay out of floodwaters. They can contain dangerous chemicals and objects that could harm you or make you sick. For the latest flood watches and warnings check weather.gov.
    Stay out of floodwaters. Floodwaters hide dangers that can cause sickness, injury or even death, including animals and insects, live wires, harmful bacteria, dangerous chemicals, sewage, and sharp objects and debris.

    Next week, monsoon moisture is expected through the Southwest into the Great Basin and Central Rockies. The East also looks wet. Temps: Warmer than normal likely for the West and South. Cooler for the Upper Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic. Drought.gov @NOAA @NWS
    NOAA’s 6–10 Day Precipitation Outlook map for July 21–25, 2026, indicates a higher probability of above-normal precipitation centering over the Intermountain West and stretching toward the East Coast, near-normal conditions for much of the Northwest, Central Plains, and parts of the Southeast, and a small area of below-normal precipitation along the southern tip of Texas.
    NOAA’s 6–10 Day Temperature Outlook map for July 21–25, 2026 indicates a high probability of above-normal temperatures spanning the West Coast, the southern Great Plains, and the Southeast, while the Great Lakes region and the Northeast are favoring below-normal temperatures, and the Northern Plains favor near-normal temperatures.

    Life-threatening and locally catastrophic flash and urban flooding is expected across portions of southwestern Texas through early Friday, with significant river flooding and rapid rises on small streams, arroyos, and typically dry washes expected. Monitor weather.gov
    NOAA Weather Prediction Center Day 1 Excessive Rainfall Outlook valid from 12Z Wednesday, July 15, 2026, through 12Z Thursday, July 16, 2026. A High Risk (magenta) for excessive rainfall and flash flooding is centered over portions of south-central Texas, surrounded by a Moderate Risk (red) and a broader Slight Risk (yellow) extending across much of southern Texas near the Rio Grande and Gulf Coast regions. Additional Slight Risk areas are highlighted over parts of southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. Marginal Risk areas (green) cover a larger portion of Texas and the southern Plains, extend northeastward into the Mid-South and lower Ohio Valley, and include separate areas over the Great Basin, central Rockies, and northern Rockies. The legend indicates probabilities of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance within 25 miles of a point, with thresholds of 5% for Marginal, 15% for Slight, 40% for Moderate, and 70% for High Risk.
