NOHRSC footprint times are metadata; pixel analysis time is not independently verified. Snow-depth pixels have previously differed from the footprint time. This is modeled/assimilated snow analysis, not a measurement at a place. Unshaded and no-data areas do not establish zero snow.

    Flood Warning issued October 16 at 9:01AM CDT until October 18 at 3:18AM CDT by NWS Austin/San Antonio TX

    ...The Flood Warning is extended for the following rivers in Texas...

Rio Grande At Foster Ranch affecting Val Verde County.

* WHAT...Moderate flooding is forecast.

* WHERE...Rio Grande at Foster Ranch.

* WHEN...From this afternoon to late Saturday night.

* IMPACTS...At 15.0 feet, (4.6 meters), moderate lowland flooding
into the right flood plain floods campsites below Dryden to Amistad
Reservoir. Turbulence is very dangerous for swimmers, tubers and
canoeists. Livestock are trapped in low areas of the channel and
banks and potentially can drown.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 8:15 AM CDT Friday the stage was 9.3 feet.
- Bankfull stage is 14.0 feet.
- Forecast...The river will rise above flood stage late this
afternoon to 16.0 feet just after midnight tonight. It will then
fall below flood stage tomorrow afternoon to 11.4 feet Sunday
morning. It will rise to 12.7 feet early Sunday afternoon. It
will then fall again and remain below flood stage.
- Flood stage is 14.0 feet.
- Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 16.0
feet on 10/01/1991.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
    Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive cars
through flooded areas.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet
and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim,
or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters,
stop, turn around and go another way.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.

Additional information is available at www.weather.gov.

The next statement will be issued this evening at 915 PM CDT.
