Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 2:43 PM CST on November 20, 2009 |
... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 PM CST this evening...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* a portion of southeast Texas... including the following counties... Austin... Brazoria... Chambers... Colorado... Fort Bend... Galveston... Harris... Jackson... Matagorda... Waller and Wharton.
* Until 6 PM CST this evening
* another round of showers and embedded thunderstorms will be moving west to east across the watch area late this afternoon. Rainfall rates up to 1.5 inches per hour are possible in the heavier downpours. Locations south of Interstate 10 have received between 1 and 4 inches of rainfall today... so there is still a chance of some minor street flooding where the heavier rains occur. The highest accumulations have been just off the coast... and with only light to occasional moderate rainfall anticipated overnight the threat of widespread flooding is low. Thus... will allow the Flash Flood Watch to expire at 6 PM.
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.
