July 3, 2025 (~1:18 p.m. CDT): A Flood Watch was issued for south-central Texas, including Kerr County, based on radar and model data predicting heavy rainfall through 7 a.m. on July 4. The watch highlighted the risk of flash flooding in low-lying areas and along rivers.

As families and search crews sift through debris, mangled trees and toppled vehicles in Kerr County after the catastrophic Fourth of July flooding, authorities are facing growing questions about whether enough warnings were issued.
