Description
Flood Watch issued June 13 at 2:39AM CDT until June 13 at 7:00PM CDT by NWS Houston/Galveston TX
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...Portions of south central and southeast Texas, including
the following areas, in south central Texas, Coastal Jackson and
Inland Jackson. In southeast Texas, Brazoria Islands, Coastal
Brazoria, Coastal Matagorda, Inland Brazoria, Inland Matagorda and
Matagorda Islands.
* WHEN...Through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

to take action should flooding develop.
