Disaster declarations signed in Weslaco and Progreso amid flood watch
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Weslaco Mayor Adrian Gonzalez and Progreso Mayor Hugo Gamboa have both signed disaster declarations due to severe flooding in their cities. The flooding has led to the closure of the eastbound I-2 frontage road between Westgate Drive and FM 88/Texas Boulevard, although the main lanes remain open. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel as conditions can change rapidly. Weslaco ISD has postponed summer school and after-school activities. The entire Rio Grande Valley is under a flood watch, with potential for flash flooding continuing through Tuesday. Rain is expected to taper off by Wednesday, but high humidity may lead to triple-digit heat indices by Thursday.
