Texas on Saturday faces an upper-atmosphere wave of low pressure that could trigger storms and an increasingly deep flow of Gulf moisture.

A Flood Watch is in effect for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and areas west of I-35 through 7 p.m. Sunday, July 13.

Blistering sun and July heat and humidity will provide challenges for recovery and cleanup efforts in the aftermath of the Guadalupe River flood disaster, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

Meteorologists say incredible amounts of moisture in the air fueled a storm that moved slowly over central Texas, creating conditions for fatal flash floods.

"A lot of the weather forecast offices now are not operating at full complement of staff," said the former lead of NOAA.

After the catastrophic flash flooding in central Texas on July 4, 2025, users online claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was ultimately to blame for the flood's 100 deaths due to staffing cuts at the National Weather Service.

Some have argued the Trump administration's NWS cuts led to a forecast that underestimated the amount of rain in Kerr County, Texas.

After a week of severe storms that soaked the East Coast and triggered devastating floods in the South, more rain is on the way with a renewed flood threat for still-reeling Texas and New Mexico
