The UAE Consulate in Houston has warned Emirati citizens in the United States about anticipated heavy rainfall and flooding in western Texas. The consulate emphasized the significance of adhering to safety guidelines provided by local authorities and advised UAE nationals to reach out to 0097180044444 or 0097180024 in case of emergencies.
Registration with the Tawajudi service was also recommended for timely updates.

Flash flooding was already reported in certain locations. Additionally, the National Weather Service cautioned about flooding risks in broader areas of western Texas, especially along rivers, creeks, streams, low-lying roads, and regions with inadequate drainage.
A flood watch issued for Friday suggested heavy showers and thunderstorms could deposit one to three inches of rain, with locally elevated amounts.
