Moderate Flooding Hits Llano River in Texas as Ohio and Cyprus Face Separate Severe Weather
Flood warnings remain in effect across parts of Texas and Ohio due to ongoing river and urban flooding, while extreme heat has prompted a yellow warning in Cyprus with temperatures nearing 40°C in Nicosia.

Extreme Heat Warning Issued for Cyprus
A yellow weather warning for extreme heat has been issued in Cyprus, with Nicosia forecast to reach around 40 degrees Celsius between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday. [5] Temperatures are expected to reach around 31 degrees Celsius in areas such as Paphos, around 35 degrees in Limassol and Larnaca, and around 28 degrees in Troodos.

[5] The forecast covers a mainly clear daytime pattern transitioning to potential localized precipitation in higher elevations. [5]
Forecast for Continued Severe Conditions
The moderate flooding on the Llano River at Llano is forecast until early tomorrow afternoon. [1] The minor flooding near Mason continues until Sunday morning. [2] The minor flooding near Junction lasts until this afternoon. [3] The urban flooding in Hamilton County, Ohio, persists until 8:45 a.m. EDT.

[5]
These timelines indicate that flood conditions in Texas and Ohio will taper off at different points through the weekend, while Cyprus faces sustained above-average heat with added chances for localized storms. [1][2][3][4][5] The multi-day outlook for Cyprus includes rising temperatures that stay elevated compared to typical seasonal values. [5]
What to watch next: Flood warnings on the Llano River segments end at their stated times through Sunday morning, Hamilton County flooding concludes by 8:45 a.m. EDT, and Cyprus faces gradually rising temperatures above seasonal averages with possible isolated showers or thunderstorms in Troodos on Sunday afternoon plus brief rainfall potential on Monday and Tuesday.
