...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of south central Texas and southeast Texas...
including the following counties...in south central Texas...
Coastal Jackson and Inland Jackson. In southeast Texas...
Austin...Brazoria Islands...Brazos...Burleson...Chambers...
Coastal Brazoria...Coastal Galveston...Coastal Harris...
Coastal Matagorda...Colorado...Fort Bend...Galveston Island
and Bolivar Peninsula...Grimes...Houston...Inland Brazoria...
Inland Galveston...Inland Harris...Inland Matagorda...
Madison...Matagorda Islands...Montgomery...Northern Liberty...
Polk...San Jacinto...Southern Liberty...Trinity...Walker...
Waller...Washington and Wharton.

* Through Saturday evening

* Multiple rounds of potentially heavy rainfall are anticipate
through the watch period. The first round of storms could occur
later this afternoon through Friday morning as a front moves
through the area. A second round of storms could occur late
Friday into Saturday evening. Forecasted rainfall event totals
estimate about 4 to 8 inches widespread, with isolated 9 to 12
inches possible. Soils remain saturated from recent rainfall, so
any additional rainfall should run off quickly and cause flooding.

* Based on the rainfall totals and rainfall rates that we are
anticipating during these two main waves of heavy rainfall
this weekend, we will be using the following Flash Flood
messaging throughout the course of this event. Messaging may
need to be scaled up if more extreme rainfall rates occur.
Stay Put. Do not attempt to travel. Underpasses and low-water
crossings will be life-threatening. If caught in a sinking
vehicle, get OUT. Bayous will likely exceed banks and
structure flooding could be possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
