Another day of rain

Anderson Lee, 79, of Temple waits for a bus in the rain Tuesday morning on Third Street. Temple received just less than an inch of rain on Tuesday with most of that falling before 1 p.m.

Today there will be areas of fog before 10 a.m. and then mostly cloudy with a high near 91 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Heat index values may be as high as 98 degrees. Thursday will be partly sunny with a high near 85 degrees, according to the service. North-northwest winds at 5-10 mph will increase to between 15 and 20 mph.

Mill and Chisholm Creeks in Salado and the feeder roads were closed Tuesday because of flooding, Mayor Merle Stalcup said.

"The bridge on Main Street had water within up to 3 feet of the top," Stalcup said. "No one's homes were flooded or in danger."

For the second time in about a month, Salado Creek rushed over the bridge on FM 1123 near the Summers Mill Retreat and Conference Center. Texas Department of Transportation personnel was on hand to keep drivers from trying to cross the bridge and waited for the water to recede to make sure debris didn't wash up and block the road. The bridge was underwater for about four hours.
