Highest water of the modern gauge era. Major flooding persists through the fall; evacuated areas stay evacuated until water drops well below major stage.https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/ASRT2NWPS ASRT2: peak observed 31.56 ft (~00:30Z), 8:30 PM CT reading 31.49 and easing — crest confirmed passed. Event peak stands ~1.4 ft below the Jun 1935 all-time 33 ft; ~6 ft above the 1991-era record. Forecast holds near 31.5 overnight then a slow fall — MAJOR-stage water persists for days on the recession; downstream Nueces reaches continue receiving the wave. Do not re-enter low-lying areas until officials clear them. — Asherton — Nueces River (Dimmit Co.)

Still solid MAJOR flooding — riverside ranches, low crossings, and equipment in the Derby reach stay flooded — but the acute rise has stalled short of the forecast.https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/DBYT2['NWPS DBYT2 11:30 AM CT: observed 20.48 ft MAJOR (major stage 17), essentially flat since ~9 AM (20.4–20.51 band) versus the ~21.1 ft crest NWPS still forecasts around 1 PM CT — consistent with the other overnight over-forecasts that under-ran. Treat 21.1 as an upper bound, not a lock. Keep equipment and livestock off the Derby river bottom and avoid low crossings; MAJOR-stage water persists on the falling/flat limb even if it never reaches the forecast peak.'] — Lower Frio River — Derby / Tilden reaches (Frio Co.)Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:28:00 +0000seed-037[HIGH] Falls City EASING: the Cibolo crest came in well UNDER the revised 23.6 ft — observed only ~19.9 ft MINOR at 10:15 AM CT and forecast to fall to ~19.5 ft.
