Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are
possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Coastal areas will have the greatest potential for flooding
through this afternoon as Potential Tropical Cyclone One
skirts along the Upper Texas Coast. Rainfall rates could
exceed 4 inches per hour in the heaviest downpours.
Additional widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches in
the watch area with isolated higher totals possible
especially along the coast. Grounds are fairly saturated
across portions of Southeast Texas, which would allow for a
quicker transition of the rainfall to runoff. This increases
the potential for flooding, especially in the areas that have
received 4+ inches of rain over the past few days.
