Flood Watch
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
407 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024
.A new round of heavy rainfall is moving into the area from the
northwest very early this morning, and will continue to make its way
across Southeast Texas today. An additional 1 to 3 inches of
rainfall is expected across broad areas, with isolated higher
amounts of 4 to 8 inches possible within the watch area. This may
lead to flash flooding, especially in vulnerable areas, and
exacerbate already swollen rivers and streams around the area.

…FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING…
* WHAT…Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE…A portion of southeast Texas, including the following
areas, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Chambers, Coastal Harris,
Colorado, Grimes, Houston, Inland Harris, Madison, Montgomery,
Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Southern Liberty, Trinity,
Walker, Waller and Washington.
* WHEN…Through this 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. Extensive street flooding and flooding
of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are
running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– A new round of heavy rainfall is moving into the area from
the northwest very early this morning, and will continue to
make its way across Southeast Texas today. Because of
multiple rounds of heavy rain over the past week, flooding
may be seen earlier than would be expected under typical
conditions. Rainfall today will continue to exacerbate
existing river flooding.
