Central Kerr County, Texas, experienced severe flash flooding after as much as 10 inches of heavy rain fell within a few hours overnight on July 4, 2025. The intense rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise more than 25 feet within an hour over the weekend, leading to widespread flooding in the region. In the days following, officials and meteorologists warned of a renewed flood threat across Central Texas, particularly in the Hill Country area. Forecasts indicated the possibility of an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain, with localized totals reaching 8 to 12 inches, driven by slow-moving thunderstorms and favorable atmospheric conditions. The Weather Prediction Center upgraded parts of Central Texas to a moderate risk level for excessive rainfall, emphasizing the potential for dangerous flooding. Residents in flood-prone areas were urged to remain vigilant as heavy showers and potentially catastrophic flooding were expected to continue into July 13 and beyond.
