Flash Flood Watch
Flood Watch...UPDATED
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
306 PM CDT Wed Sep 12 2018
...Continued Threat of Flash Flooding Through Late Week...
.Deep tropical moisture and low pressure will combine to produce
scattered showers and thunderstorms across Deep South Texas, but
especially along and east of the I69C corridor through Thursday.
As a tropical wave moves closer to Deep South Texas later this
week, additional deep tropical moisture will cause additional
flash flooding through at least the start of the upcoming
weekend.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...
The Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for
* A portion of Deep South Texas, including the following areas,
Brooks, Coastal Cameron, Coastal Kenedy, Coastal Willacy,
Inland Cameron, Inland Kenedy, Inland Willacy, Northern
Hidalgo, and Southern Hidalgo.
* Through Friday evening
* Pockets of 6 to 9 inches of rain have fallen across portions of
Brooks and Hidalgo Counties since early Monday morning.
Saturated soils in those areas will not require much additional
rainfall to produce excessive runoff. Additional rainfall of 1
to 3 inches can be expected, mainly along and east of the I69C
corridor. High rainfall rates with slow-moving showers and
storms will lead to possible flash flooding.
* Low-lying and poorly-draining areas as well as urban locations
could see widespread street flooding with water depth of
several feet. Heavy rainfall in a short period of time will
cause small streams and arroyos to fill quickly to bankfull,
possibly resulting in overflowing. Driving may be difficult to
impossible, and motorists are urged to find alternative
routes.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
