...FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following
  areas, Brazos, Burleson, Coastal Harris, Grimes, Houston, Inland
  Harris, Madison, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto,
  Southern Liberty, Trinity, Walker, Waller and Washington.

* WHEN...Through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
  crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Though heavy rain has waned this afternoon, the environment
    remains favorable for additional heavy rainfall. Model
    guidance suggests potential for heavier rains in the watch
    area overnight and tomorrow. Any further rainfall would at
    best slow the recission of existing floodwaters, and at worst
    would aggravate this flooding. Saturated soils will result in
    a greater risk of flash flooding, even at rain rates that
    typically do not cause problems in this area. 1-2 inches of
    new rainfall are possible with isolated totals of up to 3-4
    inches.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
