DEL VALLE, Texas - The Del Valle Independent School District is letting parents know that some school bus routes are experiencing delays and slight modifications this morning. 

The changes are reportedly being made because of the weather. All parents with affected students should receive a text message update with more information, according to the school district.  

HEAVY RAIN IN CENTRAL TEXAS MONDAY:

WHERE: The WPC is forecasting a Slight Risk for flash flooding for southeast Travis County and all of Caldwell, Bastrop, Lee and Fayette Counties.  There is a VERY LOW Risk for the rest of Travis County, Hays, and Williamson County.

WHEN: Rain Starting in Hill Country around 3-4am, spreading east to Austin by 5-6am. Heaviest rain will move through Austin around noon, tapering off in the late afternoon.

HOW BAD (Risks): FLASH FLOOD WATCH for parts of Central Texas from Georgetown to San Marcos and La Grange. 1 to 3" of rain is possible with a slow-moving upper low taking a direct hit on Central Texas. The rain will come at us in waves and will be heavy at times with isolated storms. What a cloudy, cool, dreary, and rainy finish to January!

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Drought conditions should help the ground soak up a significant portion of the rain.  Limiting widespread flash flooding potential.  Rainfall amounts will be in the 1-3" range with the heaviest amounts southeast of I-35.
