  in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Flow across the boundary will become favorable for moisture
    feed into storms and may result in areas of 3 to 5 inches of
    rainfall with isolated higher amounts possible. Southeast
    Texas and central Louisiana will be especially vulnerable to
    high rainfall rates and, or totals as water levels remain
    elevated from previous storm systems. Heavy downpours in a
    short time or training rainfall may result in urban flash
    flooding and may cause creeks, bayous and rivers to come out
    of their banks.
