…FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING…
The Flash Flood Watch continues for portions of Southeast Texas, including the following counties:
Austin… Brazoria… Brazos… Burleson… Chambers… Colorado… Fort Bend.. Galveston… Grimes… Harris… Houston… Jackson… Liberty… Madison… Matagorda…Â Montgomery… Polk… San Jacinto…Trinity… Walker… Waller… Washington and Wharton.
* Through Tuesday evening
* Periods of locally heavy rainfall are expected as rainbands from Harvey continue to develop and move across the area. Due to the slow movement of Harvey, the threat for heavy rainfall is expected to persist through at least Tuesday evening. For this event, rainfall totals of 15 to 30 inches are expected with isolated maximum amounts of 40 inches. The greatest threat area is expected to be generally along and south of a line from Brenham to Conroe to High Island. Rainfall of this magnitude will cause catastrophic and life-threatening flooding.
* The Flash Flood Watch could be extended beyond Tuesday evening.
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.
