Updated forecasts from the National Weather Service project that Montgomery County may receive up to 8 inches of rain as a tropical disturbance approaches the Texas coast.
Residents should prepare for periods of scattered showers and thunderstorms through Thursday.
The heavy rainfall could cause flooding on streets and in low-lying areas. Residents are advised to stay off of roads during periods of intense rainfall. Those who must drive should proceed with caution and avoid standing and rushing water. Please observe high-water crossing signs. Creeks and tributaries also could experience a fast rise in water during the storms.
Residents can monitor the current stream levels and view forecasts for creeks and tributaries by using the NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=hgx.
