Houston, TX – A Flood Watch has been issued for coastal counties in the Houston area, as heavy rain and storms persist. The wet and stormy conditions are expected to continue through Friday morning, increasing the likelihood of localized flooding, especially near the coast.
According to the National Weather Service, saturated soils, combined with high tides and runoff, could overwhelm drainage systems in flood-prone areas. The forecast indicates the highest chance of rain will be along the coast, with scattered thunderstorms extending inland. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 90s during the day, with scattered thunderstorms expected throughout Southeast Texas.
Officials warn residents to monitor local forecasts closely and avoid flood-prone areas. High water levels could affect rivers, creeks, and urban areas, leading to dangerous conditions. The flood watch may be extended depending on the severity of the storms through the week.
