Victoria, Texas – Residents across South Texas should prepare for a significant wet-weather pattern this week, as heavy rainfall beginning Wednesday carries a threat of localized flooding, especially for the Victoria area.
According to the National Weather Service office in Corpus Christi, a shift in the weather will bring the bulk of the rain and storms on Wednesday and Thursday. The Victoria Crossroads region is forecast to receive the highest precipitation totals, potentially exceeding 1.5 inches. This concentration of rain could overwhelm low-lying areas and cause ponding on roadways.
The impact extends to other communities, including Corpus Christi, Port Lavaca, and Beeville, where rainfall between half an inch and one inch is anticipated. The primary concerns are for homes in poorly-drained areas and the potential for hazardous driving conditions. Officials advise drivers to never enter flooded roadways and to stay aware of their surroundings.
While scattered showers are possible Tuesday, the most substantial rainfall will move through the region from Wednesday through Friday. Residents should monitor local alerts, as warnings may be updated as the system develops.
