Houston, TX – Flash flooding is expected across southeastern Texas Monday after severe thunderstorms drenched the area overnight. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for low-lying and urban regions vulnerable to sudden water surges.
Between 2 and 4 inches of rain fell across multiple counties overnight, straining waterways and increasing flood risks. Radar images indicate flash flooding could affect local roads, streams, and neighborhoods. According to weather officials, areas with poor drainage, including underpasses and rural creeks, face a heightened threat.
Drivers are advised to avoid flooded streets, as sudden water surges can trap vehicles. Emergency crews are ready to respond to potential rescues as water levels continue to rise. Residents in vulnerable zones should be prepared for potential evacuations if rain persists.
Authorities encourage caution during evening hours, when darkness can obscure hazards. Flash flooding risks may subside by mid-morning if rain clears, though forecasts predict more scattered storms throughout the week.
