Flood Watch until 07:00AM Friday 
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...A portion of west central Texas, including the following counties, Brown, Callahan, Coke, Coleman, Concho, Crockett, Irion, Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, Nolan, Runnels, San Saba, Schleicher, Sterling, Sutton, Taylor and Tom Green.
* WHEN...Through Friday morning.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will spread across West Central Texas through sunrise Friday morning. Most areas will see rain totals of one half to 1 inch across the area, with pockets of heavier rainfall of 1 to 2 inches. This will cause some flooding of city streets and low water crossings. In addition, one round of storms late tonight and into the early morning hours may become particularly heavy and slow moving, with some potential for totals of 3 to 5 inches across a handful of counties. If this heavier band develops, more widespread flash flooding will become much more likely in that area. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
