South Central Texas: Flood Watch listed as 1 to 3 inches of rain forecast Saturday through Monday

The NWS Austin/San Antonio page (updated 2:46 a.m. CST Saturday) lists a Flood Watch and a Rip Current Statement without details we could read. Its forecast calls for steady light to moderate rain Saturday through Monday with totals of 1 to 3 inches and isolated pockets up to 5 inches; because the rain is long-lasting, the office calls the flood threat low for most areas, with a highlighted area of greater potential. MySA reported the weekend flood risk at up to Level 2 of 4 for San Antonio. We could not read the watch's county list, so check weather.gov/ewx. NWS Fort Worth shows no North Texas watches.
