Harris, Madison, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto,
Southern Liberty, Trinity, Walker and Waller.
* WHEN...Through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- There is an increased danger to lives and property due to flash
flooding. Flash flooding is likely and considerable flash
flooding possible.
Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall are expected through this
evening. The highest flash flood risk is over portions of the
Piney Woods, generally north of I-10 and along and east of I-45.
Training feeder bands outside of that area are also likely. Flash
flooding is equally possible with those areas too, but not as
widespread of an area. Rainfall rates will exceed 3-4 inches per
hour at times in the heaviest downpours, which can lead to flash
flooding especially in urban and vulnerable areas.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop especially at night.
Do not drive your vehicle or walk into areas where water covers the
roadway as the water depth may be too great to allow you to cross
safely.
