.A new round of heavy rainfall is moving into the area from the
northwest very early this morning, and will continue to make its way
across Southeast Texas today. An additional 1 to 3 inches of
rainfall is expected across broad areas, with isolated higher
amounts of 4 to 8 inches possible within the watch area. This may
lead to flash flooding, especially in vulnerable areas, and
exacerbate already swollen rivers and streams around the area.

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
  crossings may be flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding
  of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are
  running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A new round of heavy rainfall is moving into the area from
    the northwest very early this morning, and will continue to
    make its way across Southeast Texas today. Because of
    multiple rounds of heavy rain over the past week, flooding
    may be seen earlier than would be expected under typical
    conditions. Rainfall today will continue to exacerbate
    existing river flooding.
