NWS HAS ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE GREATER ATASCOCITA AREA UNTIL 1:00 PM
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON...
The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for portions of Southeast Texas and
southeast Texas...including the following counties...in
Southeast Texas...Jackson. In southeast Texas...Brazoria...
Chambers...Fort Bend...Galveston...Harris...Liberty...
Matagorda and Wharton.
* Until 1 PM CDT this afternoon
* An upper level disturbance will be passing overhead today and
generate showers and thunderstorms across the region. On
average, 1 to 3 inches of rain can be expected over the watch
area. Most of the region can handle these totals with minimal
impacts. However, a surface boundary situated closer to the
coast may focus periods of much heavier downpours and lead to
some much higher rain totals...possibly in excess of 5 inches at
some locations. This would lead to some flash flooding issues
such as street, creek and possibly river flooding. Pinpointing
exactly where this boundary will be situated is difficult as it
could meander north and south through the morning and early
afternoon hours.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
