The flash flood warning didn't come until much later.
=====
That's a lie. The flash flood WATCH was issued TWELVE hours in advance and a flash flood WARNING was issued THREE hours in advance.
NO amount of weather monitoring would have changed the outcome of this flood.
None.
=====
A watch means that conditions are favorable. The point is that it did there WAS advance notice.
An emphatic no! THE WATCH WAS ISSUED 12 HOURS BEFORE THE EVENT.
The NWS grossly underestimated the moisture in this storm. It continued north and flooded Burnet and Leander 24 hrs later.
=====
A flood watch was issued hours before that.
