Unfounded rumors linking an extreme weather event to human attempts at weather modification are again spreading on social media. It is not plausible that available weather modification techniques caused or influenced the July 4 flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas.

A few thunderstorms are possible on Monday, but much drier conditions are expected soon as the weather pattern shifts.

The Chicago area has felt less of an impact from the Trump administration’s National Weather Service cuts than offices in the Quad Cities and downstate Lincoln.

The National Weather Service (NWS) warned areas near the Lampasas River of potential flooding after the river rose 33 feet in just 4 hours.

A flood watch will remain in effect in Kerrville and the surrounding area — the epicenter of the July 4 damage that left at least 130 dead — until 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Officials are keeping a wary eye on river levels as some crews resume the search for people still missing after catastrophic flooding pummeled Texas this month.

As the water rises, so does the Kerr County community, especially one man who reunited a brother and sister, swept away in the flood.

A large percentage of people still unaccounted for were probably visiting the area, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said.
