Flood Watch issued October 24 at 10:23PM CDT until October 26 at 5:00AM CDT by NWS Houston/Galveston TX

Effective: Fri October 24, 2025, 10:23 PM
Expires: Sat October 25, 2025, 10:30 AM

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following areas, Austin, Bolivar Peninsula, Brazoria Islands, Brazos, Burleson, Chambers, Coastal Brazoria, Coastal Galveston, Coastal Harris, Coastal Matagorda, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston Island, Grimes, Houston, Inland Brazoria, Inland Galveston, Inland Harris, Inland Matagorda, Madison, Matagorda Islands, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Southern Liberty, Trinity, Walker, Waller, Washington and Wharton. * WHEN...Through late Saturday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Although soils are dry ahead of this heavy rainfall event, there is enough support in guidance for high rainfall rates to lead to some instances of flash flooding. There will be two rounds of heavy rainfall with the first one being late Friday night into Saturday morning and Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Widespread rainfall totals of 2-4" with isolated higher amounts up to 4-6". Rainfall rates in the strongest storms could exceed 2-3" per hour, which could lead to flash flooding if these rainfall rates occur for a prolonged period of time. There is expected to be a lull in the activity late Saturday morning into the afternoon which will allow for drainage, so the flood threat is primarily driven by the potential for high rainfall rates. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

* WHAT...High risk of rip currents expected and minor coastal flooding possible. * WHERE...Gulf-facing beaches, including the Matagorda Peninsula, Brazoria County beaches, Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. * WHEN...Through this evening. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Flooding of lots, parks, and roads possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Localized minor coastal flooding will be possible during times of high tide and mainly near Galveston Bay. Water levels are expected to be around 3.5 ft above MLLW during high tide cycles through Saturday evening.

Flood Watch issued October 25 at 10:18AM CDT until October 26 at 5:00AM CDT by NWS Houston/Galveston TX

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of southeast Texas, including the following areas, Austin, Bolivar Peninsula, Brazoria Islands, Brazos, Burleson, Chambers, Coastal Brazoria, Coastal Galveston, Coastal Harris, Coastal Matagorda, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston Island, Grimes, Houston, Inland Brazoria, Inland Galveston, Inland Harris, Inland Matagorda, Madison, Matagorda Islands, Montgomery, Northern Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Southern Liberty, Trinity, Walker, Waller, Washington and Wharton. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Rainfall amounts from this morning's round of strong to severe thunderstorms are mainly in the 1-3" range. Rainfall rates in the strongest storms were as much as 3-4" per hour, which did lead to localized instances of street flooding. The next round of storms is expected to push through Southeast Texas later this afternoon and into the evening hours. This timing based on the latest model guidance is a bit quicker than previously anticipated, so the Flood Watch will likely be cancelled earlier than the current scheduled expiration time. Still anticipating widespread 2-4" amounts with isolated totals up to 4-6" between this morning's storms and the storms later today. There is potential for an axis of heavy rain later today with totals as high as 2-3". A brief lull in activity will persist through this morning and into the afternoon until the next round of storms develop. Areas that received closer to 2-3" of rain this morning will see this afternoon's rainfall runoff much quicker. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
