7.30 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1953. The next wettest, 5.21 inches, fell in 1998.
Warren’s center stands about 170 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 120 ft to 230 ft, a difference of 110 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Willis Formation (coarse-detrital, fine-detrital), from the Pliocene, 2.6 to 5.3 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Pliocene, 2.6 to 5.3 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Silt, sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 9 mi of the line.
Clay, sandstone. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 0.4 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Warren reaches the Gulf of America by way of Black Creek, Hickory Creek, Village Creek and the Neches: about 130 river miles.
Lake on the way: Sabine Lake.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Warren; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Warren has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in August; winter nights fall to about 38° in January. About 59 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Warren normally reaches 69° and falls to 48°. The record high is 85°, in 1955; the record low 26°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 2.28 in, fell in 1998.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1953 at Town Bluff Dam, 18 miles northeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
