POTENTIAL IMPACTS
\n—————–<\/p>\n
* FLOODING RAIN:
\nPrepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant
\nimpacts across portions of southeast Texas. Potential impacts include:
\n– Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
\nrescues.

\ncurrents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
\nin usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, and
\nditches overflow.
\n– Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
\nSeveral places may experience expanded areas of rapid
\ninundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
\nareas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
\nstorm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions
\nbecome hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.<\/p>\n
Prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
\nlimited impacts across the northern Brazos Valley and Piney Woods
\nRegion.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere across Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.<\/p>\n
