Tropical Storm Frances
Rainfall Data
Rainfall from Tropical Storm Frances began effecting the coastal areas during the morning on Thursday and conditions slowly spread inland
Thursday afternoon and further inland early Friday morning. Over 4 inches of rain fell over all of the Houston/Galveston County Warning area. Over
10 inches of rain was common along the coastal counties of Matagorda...Brazoria...Galveston and Chambers and also over inland
counties including Harris...Polk...San Jacinto and Washington. With tides already running 4 to 6 feet above normal the runoff from the rains was not
able to easily runoff into the bays thus resulting in more widespread flooding of inland creeks and bayous especially early Friday morning. See
the attached rainfall chart showing the areal extent of rainfall across southeast Texas.
