Water from Lake Austin flows into Lady Bird Lake and beyond, while Lake Bastrop releases into Gills Branch Creek, helping manage rising levels. A flood watch remained in effect through Tuesday evening for Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop counties, following a flash flood warning that was downgraded. Forecasters warned of possible 8-inch downpours, pushing reservoirs to their limits and making dam releases essential for safety.
