Burnet and Llano counties will be under a flood watch this coming week as high chances of storms and significant rainfall roll over the area.

According to the National Weather Service, the Highland Lakes will be under a flood watch from 9 p.m. on Monday, July 13, through the evening of Thursday, July 16. Stormwater totals of 2-6 inches are possible over the week, with up to 10 inches in some isolated areas.

Flooding and flash flooding is possible, especially so at low-water crossings in the area.

  • Monday, July 13: High 91, low 73 with a 70 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms after 4 p.m.
  • Tuesday, July 14: High 86, low 70 with a 90 percent chance of rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms
  • Wednesday, July 15: High 86, low 71 with an 80 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms after 1 p.m.
  • Thursday, July 16: High 88, low 73 with a 60 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms before 7 a.m. and after 1 p.m.

The Highland Lakes have already seen a significant amount of rainfall this year, in part due to El Niño conditions, which typically bring cooler, wetter weather to Central Texas.

According to a July 9 update from the NWS Climate Prediction Center, El Niño conditions are expected to continue to strengthen through the end of the year, with a 97 percent chance that they will continue through spring 2027.
