Flood Watches remain in effect across South Central and Southeast Texas as communities continue dealing with dangerous flooding.

In South Central Texas, NWS Austin/San Antonio says a Flood Watch remains in effect through 7 PM Tuesday, June 16, with isolated pockets of more than 8 inches of rain possible. In Southeast Texas, NWS Houston/Galveston says a Flood Watch is in effect through Thursday morning, with the highest flooding risk across southern and coastal counties, where a Level 3 of 4 excessive rainfall risk is in place.

The image below from AEM Elements® 360 shows daily rainfall totals ranging from 2 to 5.9 inches in some of the hardest-hit areas. The result has been flooded roads, closed low-water crossings, and water rescues reported in parts of the region.

Protecting the public in situations like this requires fast action and well-timed communication based on a complex set of variables, including soil saturation, water levels, creek and stream response, forecast rainfall, and the cumulative impact of flooding. That’s why Elements 360 is designed to bring these pieces together in one operational view, supporting effective alerting and action when conditions demand it.

Because we understand that when it comes to the decision moment... you can’t afford to miss it.

As summer approaches, emerging El Niño conditions, below-normal snowpack in parts of the western U.S., and ongoing drought are shaping seasonal risks across North America. These factors are raising concerns around water supply, wildfire potential, energy demand, smoke impacts, and air quality headi...

A rapidly strengthening El Niño could become one of the defining climate signals of the summer season.

In AEM’s upcoming 2026 Summer Outlook webinar, our meteorological team will unpack what this and other climate signals could mean for specific regions across North America.

🔎 Where could heat become more persistent?
🔎 Where could precipitation extremes become a concern?
🔎 What could it all mean for drought, water supply, wildfire potential, smoke, and air quality?

Join us for a practical look at the weather risks, regional patterns, and planning considerations that could matter most this summer.

is a reminder that extreme heat is no longer an occasional summer concern. It is becoming a frequent operational reality.

The world’s 10 warmest years on record have all occurred in the past decade. And with El Niño likely to develop in the coming months, summer heat risks may be amplified again this year.

For organizations responsible for worker safety, student and athlete safety, outdoor events, transportation, utilities, or community preparedness, the question is not whether will matter this summer. It is whether decision-makers will have the outlook, monitoring, and guidance they need before conditions become dangerous.

Register now for our upcoming Summer Weather Outlook for North America, where we will break down expected temperature patterns, precipitation risks, severe weather potential, and other conditions that could shape operational decisions this summer. https://lp.aem.eco/register-webinar-2026-summer-outlook?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=heatsafetyweek

Learn what it takes to create an effective flood early warning system, with lessons from the 2025 Texas floods and other recent natural disasters

“Our Power, Our Planet” is the focus of Earth Day 2026.

It comes at a time when natural hazards are increasing in both frequency and intensity—from severe storms and flooding to prolonged drought and wildfire.

Power in that environment must include the ability to anticipate risk, understand conditions as they evolve, and respond effectively when hazards threaten people and operations.

AEM is proud to help communities and organizations turn environmental intelligence into clear, timely decisions—so they can manage risk and protect what matters most.
