- Flood Watch
Several days of storms have primed soils across the area, particularly near Matagorda Bay, which saw particularly heavy rainfall Thursday morning. More storms are expected to form today, with a particular focus near the Gulf coast. Lower on the coast, nearer Matagorda Bay, previous heavy rainfall and flooding means that rainfall will convert to runoff and potential flooding very easily. Farther up the coast, especially east of Galveston Bay, today's storms may produce very heavy rainfall, creating a flooding threat there as well. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following areas, Bolivar Peninsula, Chambers, Coastal Galveston, Coastal Harris, Galveston Island, Inland Galveston and Southern Liberty. * WHEN...Through this evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
