Flood Watch until 07:00PM Friday
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
* WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following areas, Brazos, Burleson, Coastal Harris, Grimes, Houston, Inland Harris, Madison, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Southern Liberty, Trinity, Walker, Waller and Washington.
* WHEN...Through Friday evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Though heavy rain has waned this afternoon, the environment remains favorable for additional heavy rainfall. Model guidance suggests potential for heavier rains in the watch area overnight and tomorrow. Any further rainfall would at best slow the recission of existing floodwaters, and at worst would aggravate this flooding. Saturated soils will result in a greater risk of flash flooding, even at rain rates that typically do not cause problems in this area. 1-2 inches of new rainfall are possible with isolated totals of up to 3-4 inches. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
