Scattered showers Saturday

HOUSTON – Strong storms produced heavy rains Friday and became more widespread through the afternoon.  

North Harris County, South Montgomery County, and Southeast Harris County have been hard hit in the past two days and it will only take 1-2’’ of additional rain to produce more flooding. Watch these hot spots carefully.

Thunderstorms Friday will be able to drop several inches of rain in just an hour. Street Flooding will be a large threat in areas that get hit.

Scattered storms are also expected Saturday and a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for all of Southeast Texas until  7 p.m. Saturday.

Weather conditions are not expected to improve until Sunday and Monday.

Major Flooding continues along the Brazos, San Jacinto, and Trinity Rivers and is expected to last through the weekend.  Flooding along the Brazos River will most likely last through next week.

The Harris County office of emergency management  offers these Basic Flood Safety Tips:

• DO NOT DRIVE through high water and DO NOT DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES. Just 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away.
• DO NOT WALK through flood waters. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down. 
• If your home floods, STAY THERE. You are safer at home than trying to navigate flooded streets on foot.
• If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is NOT MOVING, abandon the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car and enter MOVING water.
• STAY AWAY from streams, rivers, and creeks during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly and with little warning.
• MOVE important items – especially important documents like insurance policies - to the highest possible floor. This will help protect them from flood damage.
• DISCONNECT electrical appliances and do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water. You could be electrocuted.
