A total of six counties remain under a watch for possible flooding until this Friday at 1:00 pm due to persistent rainfall in the border region and the Hill Country. The affected counties are Val Verde, Maverick, Kinney, Edwards, Real, and Uvalde. According to Chief Meteorologist Ariel Rivera Vázquez, the rains will continue to impact these areas through Friday morning. It is expected that rainfall totals will add between 3 and 5 additional inches, accumulating on top of the more than 2 inches recorded during Thursday. For this reason, authorities urge citizens to exercise extreme caution when driving, especially at night. In San Antonio, the rain will cease during the early morning, although new storms are expected in Bexar County this Friday between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm. Conditions will improve gradually during the afternoon in south-central Texas, although there will be little sun. It is estimated that San Antonio will not exceed 75 degrees, while in higher areas such as Boerne, Kerrville, and the Hill Country, temperatures will barely reach 60 degrees. In other current events, it was reported on October 27 that more than 4 million Texans have already voted. Also, on October 29, Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump over the economy, while on October 28, it was revealed that a network linked to the Sinaloa Cartel was using El Paso to traffic cocaine into Florida. Authorities are maintaining constant monitoring in light of the adverse weather forecast affecting the region.
