AM EDT.  HOWEVER, SCATTERED REPORTS OF 6 TO 8 INCHES WERE REPORTED
FROM BANDERA FALLS AND UTOPIA SOUTHEASTWARD TO HONDO WHERE OVER
8 INCHES OF RAIN FELL.    

A FEEDER BAND ASSOCIATED WITH "CHARLEY" IS CURRENTLY PRODUCING
HEAVY RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS.  HEAVY RAINFALL
WITH DECAYING TROPICAL SYSTEMS OFTEN EXHIBIT A TENDENCY TO PRODUCE
A CONCENTRATED AREA OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL NEAR THE CENTER OF THE
STORM AT NIGHT.  FLASH FLOOD WATCHES CONTINUE OVER ALL OF SOUTH
CENTRAL TEXAS AND THE HILL COUNTRY WEST OF SAN ANTONIO.  WATCHES
ALSO EXTEND TO THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU AND THE LOWER TRANS-
