Flood Watch

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.

* WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following areas, Bolivar Peninsula, Brazoria Islands, Chambers, Coastal Brazoria, Coastal Galveston, Coastal Harris, Galveston Island, Inland Brazoria, Inland Galveston, Inland Harris, Northern Liberty and Southern Liberty.

* WHEN...Until 7 PM CDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. 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. Rainfall rates of 2-2.5 inches per hour are possible in the heaviest downpours. Additional widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches in the watch are expected 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. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
