Flood Watch:
The National Weather Service has extended the flood watch for SE Texas through Sunday 7 PM. We have the potential for another 1-3″ of rainfall some areas could pick up closer to 8″ Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Excessive runoff is creating additional rises in rivers, creeks and streams. Those who live in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action if flooding should develop. Please stay weather aware.
Localized heavy rainfall with high risk of excessive rainfall for Houston metro area to Huntsville eastward.
Several rivers are flooding including the Trinity River, San Jacinto River, and Brazos River (Navasota/Normangee). There are other rivers that are flooding too. You can see our stream status below, or check out our Flood Tracker. Avoid parking along streams, rivers and creeks. Never drive around a barrier.
Please be careful with the high water. Not only can you be swept away, but floodwaters also hide dangers that can cause sickness, injury or even death! Do not let children play in floodwaters!
