...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following
areas, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Coastal Harris, Grimes, Houston,
Inland Harris, Madison, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San

* WHEN...Through Friday morning.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Widespread thunderstorms will develop across the area this
afternoon and evening, with the presence of a warm frontal
boundary and abundant moisture providing favorable conditions
for heavy rainfall. The flood threat will be further
exacerbated by well-saturated soils still present across
portions of the region due to significant antecedent
rainfall. In general, 3-6" of new rainfall can be expected
for areas north of the I-10 corridor through this evening.
Isolated locally higher totals are possible as well. This may
result in street flooding, as well as rises along area rivers
and creeks.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
