AUSTIN, Texas — Overnight storms that dumped 2 to 6 inches of rain across Central Texas resulted in the closure of more than 90 low-water crossings Monday morning.
Closures were heavily concentrated along Brushy Creek and its tributaries in Round Rock, Cedar Park and the Hutto area, with multiple crossings shut down on Spicewood Springs Road in northwest Austin.
Hays County roads also saw widespread closures, particularly along York Creek Road, Satterwhite Road and Bunton Lane south of Goforth Road. Additional closures were reported in Williamson County near Jarrell and Thrall, and in San Marcos near the San Marcos River.
CBS Austin crews observed flooding firsthand at Bunton Lane and Twin Estates in Kyle, where multiple sections of the road were impassable, as well as at the intersection of Parmer Lane and Cameron Road in northeast Travis County, where several crossings remained closed through the morning hours.

In all, 93 low-water crossings were listed as closed on ATXFloods.com as of Monday morning, spanning Travis, Williamson, Hays, Burnet and Bastrop counties.
Meteorologist Avery Tomasco said dozens of crossings were likely to remain closed for most of the day as creeks, streams and rivers continued moving overnight rainfall downstream.
Officials urged drivers not to attempt to go around flood barricades or travel through flowing water.
“Turn around, don’t drown,” authorities said.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas freshman closer Sam Cozart is the best reliever in the country.
Cozart was named the Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Friday, becoming the fourth Longhorn to win it and the second freshman in the award’s 21-year history. The other freshman to win it was former Longhorn Corey Knebel in 2011.
Going into play at the Men’s College World Series, Cozart racked up nine saves with a 6-0 record and 1.65 ERA in 22 appearances. He has struck out 71 batters with 12 walks in 49 innings.
Cozart joins J. Brent Cox, Chance Ruffin and Knebel as Longhorns to win the award. Cox won it in 2005, and Ruffin won in 2010. Texas has more Stopper of the Year award winners than any program.
Georgia catcher Daniel Jackson was named the Dick Howser trophy winner for national player of the year, and West Virginia’s Steve Sabins was named the Mike Martin National Coach of the Year. Cozart was also named the National Freshman Pitcher of the Year by the NCBWA.
Texas is on the ropes in Omaha at the Men’s College World Series after a 7-1 loss Saturday to Georgia. The Longhorns face Alabama at 1 p.m. Monday in an elimination game, and to make the championship series, Texas will have to win five games in four days.
