Update from Jeff:

***Dangerous flash flood event ongoing over SE TX***

10-14 inches of rain has fallen this afternoon over Washington County with 6-8 inches over N Waller and southern Montgomery Counties.

Damaging flash flooding is in progress over the area with numerous roadways impacted and some homes flooding in N Waller and S Montgomery Counties.

Large MCS responsible for this is slowly sagging S while training W to E along and N of I-10. Line has become increasing fragmented in the last few hours, but cells along this line remain strong and capable of intense hourly rainfall rates of 2-4 inches. 1-hr rainfall rate of 4.6 inches was recorded in Conroe earlier this evening.

Significant flash flooding is in progress in many locations and travel should be avoided. Do NOT drive into high water.

Hydro:

Working several developing situations…especially the Brazos where rain “bomb” near Brenham will send a major flood wave down this system. Early forecast looks lik Memorial Day 15 levels for Waller, Fort Bend, and Brazoria Counties, but we are not done and may need to push more water into the system.

Worried about the West Fork at Humble also with 6-8 inches over the headwaters of this basin.

Tremendous flow is going into Spring Creek and rises to overbanks is likely upstream of SH 249.

[StormOne]

Looking like we may get a break tonight, as long as there is not more training with the system that is currently here, we could get some sleep in tonight. Looking like we could get multiple lines most of the day tomorrow as advertised by HRRR and TX Tech. Both did decent with this system it seems, with HRRR moving it out too quickly, and TX Tech not dropping it down into Harris County. We are not even close to done with the rain, and training storms tomorrow will only enhance the already dangerous flooding situation. Will be keeping an eye along with you guys.

[Ounce]

It looks like the storms west of 45 are losing some oomph. However, storms are still being created just south of Austin in Buda and Kyle, moving northeast.

Very concerned about that training situation setting up west to east. *** Turn around don't drown***

Flooding in College Station.

Navasota is getting hammered.

Doc...I was sitting stopped in traffic on 6 about 10 miles south of Navasota during the tornado. Blinding rain, even with wipers could only see 2 cars in front of mine. This went on seemingly forever. The wind...my goodness the wind. My truck and the other cars around me that I could see were all rocking back and forth. A couple of times it felt like it was going to lift or slde. After traffic could begin creeping, we had gone only about an 1/8th of a mile when there was the 1st of 5 overturned 18 wheelers. Trees, large trees, were snapped in 2, power lines across the road, fences demolished, a few cars in the median, most likely there is plenty of loose livestock about as well. Then when you see DPS and Sherrifs pulling boats, thats just crazy.

That was a nasty situation. I hope no loss of life.

Update from Jeff:


***Dangerous flash flood event in progress over SE TX***



Flash Flood Emergency being issued for Washington and N Austin Counties



Life threatening flash flooding in progress over Waller, Washington, and Montgomery Counties.



Tremendous rainfall of 10-15 inches has fallen over Washington County with 5-8 inches over N Waller into SW/S Montgomery Counties and 5-7 inches over N Harris County.



Cells continue to fire along this boundary as rich low level inflow strikes the boundary in a perpendicular manner with cells training from W to E. Developing thunderstorm complex over the TX Hill Country will like move ESE along this boundary overnight and bring additional very heavy rainfall as well as continued development along the boundary.

will this line move south or stay stationary?

Looks like I-10 is the line, for tonight.

Although a little action is being pulled northward from the gulf, in spots.

I'm glad you made it through. Those were incredible road and overall conditions. The atmosphere was truly boiling today. wild and untamed, unleashing mayhem. It's a day we won't forget.

Fingers crossed for something more sedate tomorrow, but storms are building back again from the south and Austin. It appears we'll be back in the maelstrom before the night is finished.

[DoctorMu]

The wind is really picking up again as rain starts to fall.

Boundary storms are strengthening again with the reinforcement cell from the Hill Country. Things could get nasty.

[DoctorMu]

Those Austin cells have plenty of mischief and bad intentions:
