* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Convection is expected to develop over South Central Texas
late today. This area of convection will scoot eastward
beneath a lower level shortwave trof, arriving to southeast
Texas Thursday morning. Ahead of the trof, lowering heights
and deeply entrenched moisture over Louisiana will assist in
the development of showers into central and southeast Texas
late tonight. Showers and thunderstorms will spread into
southeast Texas counties prior to sunrise Thursday morning
and continue spreading eastward through the morning. Very
rain-efficient conditions are expected with PWAT values 1.60
to 1.95 inches in place ahead of storms. Rainfall rates of 1
to 3 inches per hour will be possible and areas with ongoing
flooding are urged to be mindful of very swiftly exacerbated
flooding conditions. Current forecasts indicate the line will
move fairly progressively, however, any deviation or slow-
down of precipitation would likely result in another 2 to 4
inches of rain inside the flood watch area. Isolated higher
amounts will be possible.
