Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as

I guess not really surprising given the current situation, but probably not what any meteorologist thought would be issued today as the FFW was expected later this week. Nonetheless, Flash Flood Watch for Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria and Wharton counties. Please stay off the roads if you are in a Flood Warning. This is becoming a dangerous situation with multiple high water rescues going on.

Just when I think it is letting up, we get another round! Draining the pool and watching our Koi pond as I cannot turn the valve to drain. I pulled up the decorative rock we had around the garden that sits around the pool and started digging a trench. Hubby is out of town. 
A few of our drains in the yard were clogged up, I got those cleaned out. I am drenched but the yard is draining.
My issues are minor though as compared to those that are stuck on the roadways.
Wow! Just heard on the news that all major roadways in Sugarland are impassable.

Tuesday evening weather briefing from Jeff:
This evening rainfall of 3-5 inches has occurred over the SW portion of Harris County in 3 hrs or less.
This has resulted in the rapid rise on lower Keegans Bayou and Willow Waterhole (Westbury area) to bankfull levels. Brays Bayou is rapidly rising, but within banks.
The training rainfall appears to be shifting slightly southward into southern Fort Bend and northern Brazoria and northern Galveston Counties, and off areas that have recently been heavily impacted. Will need to keep a close eye on additional development over W and N Fort Bend County that could track along US 59 and back into areas already hard hit. Air mass is likely starting to get worked over some and that may help with an overall weakening trend
In addition to the heavy rainfall over SW Harris County, rainfall amounts of 5-9 inches occurred this afternoon over NE Harris County in the Kingwood/Humble area resulting in significant street flooding. Water is taking time to go down due to the large volume of water that fell in such a short period of time.

Sienna Plantation to Angleton is getting some hard rain, atm. Existing Flood Warning probably needs to be tweaked to the east to 521 or 288.
Up to 16” now in parts of Fort Bend County.

Not how I expected today to play out! Not much here in Cypress, but I'll consider that a good thing. Stay safe!
They get an inch of rain and are now releasing 1500CFS while the lake is just at flood pool. No way they are intaking 1500CFS. Meanwhile Lake Houston is at full go and over spillway to almost Tax day flood levels. Kingwood has received 12 inches since 10am... we need the San Jac as low as possible right now as it drains into Lake Houston and Lake Houston cant keep up with it's own local rain water intake!unome wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 8:54 pmabout 1/4" at the airport https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KCXO.html

Webster/League City area is now getting hammered.
Boy, that line of disturbed rain isn't giving up easily. The red blob that was along the Brazos a few minutes ago is crossing 35 and headed for Texas City.
