...Heavy rainfall beginning late tonight continue through
Sunday...
.A reinforcing cold front will combine with a coastal trough and
an increase in tropical moisture to produce occasional heavy
rainfall Saturday night through Monday morning. Increasing lift
from the front and mid-level disturbances arriving from the
southwest are expected to move over South Texas enhancing showers
and thunderstorms. Soils remain moderately saturated from recent
September and October rains and additional heavy, persistent
rainfall could cause areas to flood quickly.
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* A portion of Deep South Texas, including the following areas,
Brooks, Coastal Cameron, Coastal Kenedy, Coastal Willacy,
Inland Cameron, Inland Kenedy, Inland Willacy, Northern
Hidalgo, and Southern Hidalgo.
* Through Monday morning
* Slow moving heavy showers and thunderstorms producing rainfall
amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts.
* Low-lying and poorly-draining areas as well as urban locations
could see flooding on roads and streets with water depth of
several feet. Heavy rainfall in a short period of time will
cause street and creeks to overflow. Driving may be difficult
to impossible, and motorists are urged to find alternative
routes.
