* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Coastal areas will have the greatest potential for flooding
through this afternoon. Rainfall rates of 2-2.5 inches per
hour are possible in the heaviest downpours. Additional
widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches in the watch are
expected with isolated higher totals possible especially
along the coast. Grounds are fairly saturated across portions
of Southeast Texas, which would allow for a quicker
transition of the rainfall to runoff. This increases the
potential for flooding, especially in the areas that have
received 4+ inches of rain over the past few days.
