Flash Flood Warning Issued for Crockett County, Texas

At 12:30 a.m. CDT on Sunday, August 31, 2025, the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for Crockett County, Texas, effective until 3:30 a.m. CDT. The warning was prompted by 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall that fell across the county overnight, overwhelming local creeks and low-lying roadways.

Residents and travelers in the affected area were advised to:

• Avoid driving through flooded roadways, as rapid runoff has led to water covering low-water crossings and rural highways.
• Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or local emergency management broadcasts for updates on potential road closures and additional rainfall.
• Prepare to move to higher ground if rising water threatens homes near streams or in flood-prone areas.

Forecasters noted that scattered thunderstorms are expected to continue tracking through West Texas this morning, with additional rainfall rates of up to 1 inch per hour possible. Local law enforcement and emergency responders remained on standby to assist motorists and perform water rescues if necessary.

Motorists along U.S. Highway 190 and state roads within Crockett County were urged to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” when encountering flooded stretches, as even shallow water can disable vehicles and pose life-threatening risks.
