Flood Watch until 09:00PM Wednesday
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of south central and southeast Texas, including the following areas, in south central Texas, Coastal Jackson and Inland Jackson. In southeast Texas, Austin, Bolivar Peninsula, Brazoria Islands, Brazos, Burleson, Chambers, Coastal Brazoria, Coastal Galveston, Coastal Harris, Coastal Matagorda, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston Island, Grimes, Inland Brazoria, Inland Galveston, Inland Harris, Inland Matagorda, Matagorda Islands, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Southern Liberty, Walker, Waller, Washington and Wharton.
* WHEN...From Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Increasing moisture, along with the continued presence of a weak frontal boundary across the area and the approach of an upper-level disturbance, will result in widespread rainfall developing across portions of SE Texas beginning tomorrow morning. The flooding risk is twofold- high rainfall rates along and south of the I-10 corridor may lead to flash flooding and rises along area rivers, creeks, and streams. While rainfall coverage across the northern zones will be more sparse, antecedent rainfall over the last 48 hours has resulted in increased ground saturation in these areas. As a result, any developing storms will have a greater potential to produce flooding despite their more isolated coverage. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
