It was the first time a new round of severe weather has paused the search since the flooding earlier this month. Search efforts are expected to resume Monday.

Emergency crews suspended the search for flooding victims in central Texas due to new flood warnings and the risk of the Guadalupe River flooding, after a disaster claimed over 129 lives.

The serious threat unfolding in San Saba County is along the San Saba River, another area known to flood. Rains from this weekend — on top of the already soaked ground — were forecast to raise the river above 30 inches. The river is forecast to rise faster and higher than it did on July 4.
