KINGWOOD, Texas – Recent heavy rains near Kingwood have led to rises on the San Jacinto River, which has some who live along its banks nervous.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the east fork of the river near New Caney and for the west fork of the river in Humble, where minor flooding is forecast.
Many people who live in the area that was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey contacted KPRC 2 with worries about flooding in the area.
Residents like Chris Sachtleben are watching the waterline carefully.
"Everybody is still rebuilding so they have sheetrock under their house," Sachtleben said.
Video from Sky 2 showed soccer fields at the River Grove Park were flooded. Water could be seen creeping up the banks toward homes near North Shore and Lake Point drives as well.

The latest water level Monday afternoon was at 49.45 feet, which means the river had reached its cresting point. The current flood stage is 49.3 feet, which is the flooding residents were seeing earlier Monday.
Water did not appear to be inside any structures as of Monday afternoon.
The San Jacinto River Authority told KPRC 2 that because of the rain crews have released water from Lake Conroe. But at the west fork, the high water isn't just from the release -- there was a traffic jam brought on by the intersection of several creeks.
The good news is the water is beginning to recede.
Forecasters said the west fork is nearing crest and will begin slowly falling by Monday evening. The east fork is expected to crest sometime late Tuesday and remain in minor flood stage through Friday afternoon.
