== Meteorological synopsis ==

{{Main|Tropical Storm Barry (2025)}}

The floods were triggered by the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. Early on July 4, the [[Weather Prediction Center]] (WPC) branch of the [[National Weather Service]] issued a mesoscale discussion citing that "areas of flash flooding will be likely across central TX overnight with very heavy rainfall expected. Hourly rainfall in excess of 2 to 3 inches seems reasonable given the environment and localized 6-hr totals over 6 inches will be possible", and detailing that the potential flooding may have "significant impacts".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion: #0584 (Issued at 126 AM EDT Fri Jul 04 2025) |url=https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/metwatch/metwatch_mpd_multi.php?md=584&yr=2025 |access-date=2025-07-04 |website=[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] |language=EN-US}}</ref>
