⚠️ PECOS COUNTY WEATHER UPDATE ⚠️
Thursday, October 15

The overnight severe thunderstorm watch has ended, but the National Weather Service Midland/Odessa continues to warn of additional rounds of heavy rainfall and the potential for renewed flash flooding through Friday morning.

Pecos County remains under a Flood Watch until 7:00 AM Friday, October 16.

Additional thunderstorms are expected later today and tonight, and some storms could become strong or severe with damaging winds, large hail, and very heavy rainfall.

Because parts of Pecos County have already received significant rainfall, additional storms could quickly create dangerous conditions at:

• Low-water crossings
• Creeks and draws
• Rural county roads
• Poor-drainage areas
• Locations that have already experienced flooding

Please use extra caution and do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways or around barricades. Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

The Pecos County Sheriff’s Office will continue monitoring weather and road conditions and will provide updates as needed.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PECOS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 🚨

The Pecos County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of someone calling residents and falsely claiming to represent the Sheriff’s Office. The caller is telling people they need to send money to assist the Federal Government or they will be arrested.

This is a scam.

The Pecos County Sheriff’s Office will never call you and demand money, gift cards, wire transfers, or payment over the phone for this purpose.

Do not provide the caller with personal or financial information, and do not send any money.

If you receive one of these calls, hang up and contact the Pecos County Sheriff’s Office directly.

Please share this information with family and friends, especially our elderly residents.

The Pecos County Sheriff’s Office was proud to participate in Career Day at Fort Stockton High School.

We had the opportunity to visit with students and talk about careers in law enforcement and the many different opportunities available in public safety. It was great to see several students who are interested in possibly pursuing a career in law enforcement.

We always enjoy spending time with our local students, answering their questions, and encouraging them to set goals for their future.

Thank you to Fort Stockton High School for inviting the Pecos County Sheriff’s Office to be part of Career Day. We look forward to seeing some of these young men and women become future law enforcement professionals!
