BULLETIN...IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
FLASH FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
445 PM CDT SAT JUN 9 2001

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH EXTENDED THROUGH TONIGHT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST
TEXAS...

COUNTIES IN THE WATCH AREA INCLUDE...AUSTIN...BRAZOS...BRAZORIA...
BURLESON...CHAMBERS...COLORADO...FORT BEND...GALVESTON...GRIMES...
HARRIS...HOUSTON...JACKSON...LIBERTY...MADISON...MATAGORDA...
MONTGOMERY...POLK...SAN JACINTO...TRINITY...WALLER...WALKER...
WASHINGTON AND WHARTON.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO TONIGHT ACROSS SOUTHEAST 
TEXAS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 
ALLISON. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE 3 TO 5 INCHES WITH VALUES IN 
THE 10 TO 15 INCH RANGE POSSIBLE WHERE RAIN BANDS TRAIN OVER THE 
SAME LOCATIONS! AT THIS TIME...THE CORRIDOR FROM SOUTHERN HARRIS AND 
NORTHERN GALVESTON COUNTIES EASTWARD INTO GALVESTON AND TRINITY BAYS 
AND EASTWARD ON INTO CHAMBERS COUNTY APPEARS TO BE MOST AT RISK OF 
RECEIVING THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS OF THE AREA.

SINCE LARGE PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS HAVE BEEN SATURATED FROM 
ALLISON ASSOCIATED RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FIVE DAYS...THIS 
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO MORE DEEP STANDING WATER AND 
OVERFLOWS OF SMALL STREAMS...CREEKS...AND BAYOUS ACROSS SOUTHEAST 
TEXAS. RAINFALL TOTALS ASSOCIATED WITH ALLISON AND HER REMNANTS ARE 
NOW IN THE 30 TO 35 INCH RANGE IN THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE 
HOUSTON AREA!

THIS CONTINUES TO BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION! REMEMBER...DO
NOT DRIVE INTO FLOODED AREAS. NUMEROUS MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE BEEN 
FLOODED OUT DURING THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AND DRIVING ACROSS ROADWAYS 
COVERED WITH DEEP WATER COULD RISK NOT ONLY YOUR VEHICLE BUT ALSO 
YOUR LIFE!

IF FLASH FLOODING OCCURS IN YOUR LOCATION...REMAIN CALM AND MOVE TO 
HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY.

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