...Forecast flooding changed from Minor to Major severity for the following rivers in Texas... Pecos River At Pandale Crossing affecting Val Verde County. * WHAT...Moderate flooding is occurring and major flooding is forecast. * WHERE...Pecos River at Pandale Crossing. * WHEN...Until late Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...At 15.0 feet, (4.6 meters), Major flooding makes low water crossings along the Pecos River and tributaries potentially deadly. The flood wave moving downstream causes rapid rises dangerous to campers on the low banks below Sheffield to Amistad Reservoir. Autos and gear can be swept downstream. At 19.0 feet, (5.8 meters), The Pecos river at Pandale Crossing is over one quarter mile wide and extremely turbulent. Campers, river recreationists, and RVs camped near the river can easily be swept downstream as the major flood wave moving downstream causes very rapid rises. At 23.0 feet, (7.0 meters), Major flooding is well into the flood plain and can wash campers, vehicles and gear downstream. Roads and crossings in the Pecos River flood plain and tributaries are extremely dangerous to motorists. The Pecos River at Pandale Crossing is near 1/3 mile wide. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 9:15 PM CDT Friday the stage was 14.9 feet. - Bankfull stage is 5.0 feet. - Recent Activity...The maximum river stage in the 24 hours ending at 9:15 PM CDT Friday was 14.9 feet. - Forecast...The river is expected to rise to a crest of 18.5 feet just after midnight tonight. It will then fall below flood stage late tomorrow evening. - Flood stage is 7.0 feet. - Flood History...This crest compares to and exceeds a previous crest of 17.0 feet on 05/31/1996. This would be the highest flow seen on the Pecos River at Pandale since 1974 when the river crested at 29.9 feet. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive cars through flooded areas. Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim, or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters, stop, turn around and go another way. Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov. The next statement will be issued Saturday afternoon by 345 PM CDT.
