More rounds of heavy rain could trigger new flash floods across central and coastal Texas this weekend.

Overview

  • San Antonio police say a man found in San Pedro Creek on Friday died at the scene during a citywide flash flood warning.
  • Fire crews pulled him from the water near Furnish Avenue and South San Marcos, and the medical examiner will identify him and determine the cause of death.
  • Police opened an investigation and told KENS-TV the man appeared 30 to 40 years old and looked “clean cut.”
  • Forecasts call for 2 to 4 inches of additional rain with isolated higher totals through the weekend, keeping Flood Watches in place from central Texas to the Gulf Coast.
