News and Wx channel all seem to focus on how much additional rainfall is expected (double what has come), but they aren't diving into how that actually translates into additional flooding. Without explaining it, the implication is to expect double the levels that currently exist, and this flooding is because of such a large amount over such a short time. The Harris County Flood Warning site is down for me at least, so I can't see what the flood levels have actually done, if they've receded any or held steady. Some areas on the news were showing receding water, so it has fallen back some at least in some places, but with the additional rainfall coming down over the course of the next few days instead of such a short time period, one would expect a somewhat less severe ratio of rainfall to flood level.
Am I thinking this through correctly? Essentially, we all know this is unprecedented for the area, and with the further complication of releasing the reservoirs, can get extremely difficult to predict, but I wonder what the actual increase is going to be to the flood levels over the next few days. The fact I'm not hearing it anywhere tells me nobody has a good prediction.
