Flash Flood Alley poses problems in Central Texas

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Parts of the KXAN viewing area have been inundated with several rounds of showers and thunderstorms since May 1. Lampasas and San Saba counties had flood issues prompting numerous flash flood warnings. Flood issues were noted on the Lampasas River near Kempner when the river's flood stage went over 18 feet.

The local weather takes many turns during the year. There are times when we go weeks without much rain, then take on more rain in a short period of time that will often lead to flood problems.
