A cold front moved across South Central Texas on Sunday, November 3.  In its wake an area of widespread cold rain and showers developed along and east of the I-35 corridor.  Although rain amounts in the following 24 hours were not excessive, the maximum bing near 4 inches, the deeply saturated nature of the area soils due to previous rains produced far more severe than usual flash flooding problems.  As little as 1 to 2 inches of rain in 3 hour periods were often enough to fill creeks and streams and begin flash flooding over low water crossings.  The rain area was concentrated from Georgetown to Lexington to LaGrange and Hallettsville to Floresville, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Austin and back to Georgetown.  General rain amounts were near 1 inch with widespread 2 inch totals and isolated maxima near 4 inches.  Flash flooding developed in the afternoon and had generally ended by evening.
