Summary
A Flood Watch now covers much of Southeast Texas through Thursday morning, with a Tropical Storm Watch also posted for parts of the area as Potential Tropical Storm Cyclone One approaches.
Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher amounts and rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour, could trigger flash flooding, flooded roads, and rising bayous, creeks and rivers.
Houston and areas south of I-10 face the greatest flood concern Tuesday, while Wednesday could bring the week's highest impacts if the disturbance tracks near the upper Texas coast.
The threat should shift east toward Chambers County, Liberty County, Beaumont and Port Arthur on Thursday before easing Friday, though lingering high water may persist into the weekend.
