Tropical Storm Cindy could bring 1 to 3 inches of rain by Thursday

UPDATE AS OF 7 A.M.- Tropical Storm Cindy now appears to be heading towards Sabine Pass, moving northwest at 8 mph. Maximum winds are about 60 mph.

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for Harris, Galveston, Liberty and Chambers counties.

ABC13 meteorologist Travis Herzog said new computer models have him cautiously optimistic that we may dodge flooding rains, but today is crucial to see how things develop during the day.

This does not mean lower chances of rain, just the rain amount, which could be between 1-3″. Isolated pockets just east of the Houston area could see as much as 6″, however.

Near and just west of the center’s path, there will be a swath of 4-8″. Most models show an explosion of storms on the west side of Cindy tonight, which is typical for landfalling tropical storms to do, especially at night.

If you live west of I-45, you may not see any rain as Tropical Storm Cindy moves.

Many people are asking when the rains will arrive. Right now, we’re looking at a time frame between 6 p.m. today to noon tomorrow.

As for winds, expect to see gusty winds associated with Cindy, with more tropical force winds along the coast.
