* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rainfall amounts from this morning's round of strong to
severe thunderstorms are mainly in the 1-3" range. Rainfall
rates in the strongest storms were as much as 3-4" per hour,
which did lead to localized instances of street flooding. The
next round of storms is expected to push through Southeast
Texas later this afternoon and into the evening hours. This
timing based on the latest model guidance is a bit quicker
than previously anticipated, so the Flood Watch will likely
be cancelled earlier than the current scheduled expiration
time. Still anticipating widespread 2-4" amounts with
isolated totals up to 4-6" between this morning's storms and
the storms later today. There is potential for an axis of
heavy rain later today with totals as high as 2-3". A brief
lull in activity will persist through this morning and into
the afternoon until the next round of storms develop. Areas
that received closer to 2-3" of rain this morning will see
this afternoon's rainfall runoff much quicker.

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.
