...FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF SOUTHEAST
TEXAS TODAY AND TONIGHT...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THOSE PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM NORMANGEE TO SWEENY.  THIS INCLUDES THE

THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALLISON ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS THROUGH TONIGHT.  ALTHOUGH
THE RAINFALL AROUND THE CORE OF THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL DIMINISH
LATER THIS MORNING...BANDS OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS MOST OF THE WATCH AREA THROUGHOUT TODAY AND CONTINUE INTO THIS
EVENING.  LATER TONIGHT RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO AGAIN
DEVELOP AROUND THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM.  THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE
HEAVIER RAINFALL WILL BE DEPENDANT ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION.

RAINFALL TOTALS TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT WILL AVERAGE AS MUCH AS 2 TO 5
INCHES.  HOWEVER...ISOLATED HIGHER TOTALS ARE POSSIBLE.

BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTED HEAVY RAIN...SMALL STREAMS...CREEKS...AND
BAYOUS MAY OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS.  HIGH STANDING WATER ON ROADS IS
LIKELY.

MATERIALIZES.  INTERESTS ALONG THE TRINITY AND SAN JACINTO RIVERS...

THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING BE ALERT TO AREAS OF HIGH WATER...DO NOT DRIVE OR WALK
INTO IT.  THE DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT FOR YOU TO CROSS SAFELY.  IF YOU
LIVE IN A FLOOD PRONE AREA...BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND
SHOULD FLOODING BECOME IMMINENT.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR LOCAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
