Thunderstorms taper across South Texas prompt flood watch
Thunderstorms heavy enough to trigger a flash flood watch pummeled parts of South Texas from the Pecos River Valley to the Middle and Upper Texas Coast. The watch covered a west line from near Austin to 30 miles south of Eagle Pass as daybreak neared.
