Weather Update!

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are predicted for the next few days. There is a possibility of localized flooding through at least Thursday. Rainfall totals of 4-7 inches are probable. Isolated amounts of 10-15 inches are possible. It appears that the Brazos River in Richmond will remain below flood levels at this time.

Rainfall rates of 2-5 inches per hour are possible. With this amount of rain in a short period, there will be flooding on some of our streets. Please remove all loose debris from your yard which could float away and block drainage.

In addition to the front that is causing rain there is a tropical disturbance that will add moisture to our already wet week outlook. The disturbance may pass along the Texas coast/northwestern Gulf late Tuesday or Wednesday and try to develop into a
brief tropical depression. There is currently a 60% chance of development, but increasing chances are possible over the next 24 hours.

Potential Impacts, regardless of development, to Southeast Texas:
Increased risk of heavy rain.

Please do not drive through flooded areas, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”
