The local met said 4-6 inches of rain before this thing is done... I wonder when the Flood Advisories will be issued...?

Local met here said pretty much the same for this area - 4 to 6 inches with some areas maybe getting up to 8 possibly. Local met also mentioned the possibility of a little wind in isolated areas.

Here in Central Texas we're already under a flood watch.

... The Flood Watch for flash flooding remains in effect for the
counties of... Burnet... Llano... Williamson... Travis... Lee...
Gillespie... blanco... Bastrop... Hays... Edwards... Kerr... Val Verde...
Fayette... Kendall... real... Caldwell... Comal... Bandera... Guadalupe...
Gonzales... Bexar... Medina... Lavaca... Uvalde... Kinney... Wilson...
DeWitt... Atascosa... Karnes... frio... Zavala... Maverick and Dimmit
until 400 PM CDT Wednesday afternoon...

A series of upper disturbances will continue to produce a threat for
flash flooding through at least Wednesday. The highest threat for
flooding through tonight will be associated with a northward moving
thunderstorm complex moving up the Rio Grande valley and a developing
complex of thunderstorms over far West Texas.

Both of these developing thunderstorm complexes are expected to
converge upon south Texas late tonight with isolated 2 to 4 inch
rainfall amounts possible by Wednesday morning. These rains will
gradually shift east during the day Wednesday. Other scattered
showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop more randomly
across the rest south central Texas with locally heavy downpours up
to one inch possible.

An approaching storm system will continue to keep rain chances high
through at least Thursday... so there is a chance that the Flash Flood
Watch will be extended.

Agreed!!! Cooler weather is here in North Texas - 67 degrees this morning with highs in the mid to lower 70's. The mornings are crisp - 60% chance of rain today and tomorrow after Monday's deluge of rain. The ant mounds are 2 feet tall in my yard which happens when the ground is so saturated. I can hear them singing, "the ants go marching two by two, hoorah, hoorah . . . "
