Good afternoon and evening. I wanted to offer a quick update on Houston’s rain situation, as well as Invest 95L.
Tonight through Thursday
The Flash Flood Watch that had been in effect for the region has been cancelled. We did see some significant rains southeast of Houston this morning.
UPDATE: This rain 🌧 just won’t let up! Street flooding continues near Hughes Rd. – neighbors here concerned the water might creep into their homes, fortunately so far all clear. These homes flooded during #Harvey, some residents JUST moved back, and now this!#khou11 #HTownRush pic.twitter.com/Ubhq3Kp0bd

We do expect more rain and thunderstorms to develop tonight, but the heaviest should primarily remain offshore. That said, watch for locally heavy downpours in spots and at times, especially southeast of Houston along the coast tonight and tomorrow. Some short-fused street flooding can’t be entirely ruled out. But we don’t expect widespread issues tonight or Wednesday. With storms offshore tomorrow morning, inland showers and storms will probably be a little sluggish out of the gate, but do expect at least a few downpours tomorrow around the region. Eric can narrow this down with a little more specificity in the morning.
We’ll see more scattered storms on Thursday, and we’ll pin that down for you a little better tomorrow.
