A storm moving through Texas today will continue to pull in moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, producing flooding downpours along the Gulf Coast of the Lone Star State.
Between 2 and 4 inches will fall from Corpus Christi through Houston, where the
greatest flood threat will lie today into tonight. Up to 8 inches of rain may
deluge a few communities in this corridor through tonight.
Travel will be slow along heavily traveled parts of I-10 and I-45, while many
other highways and secondary roads could be flooded. Officials may have to
close many roads. In the hardest hit areas, some high water rescues may even
become necessary.
Overnight into Saturday, the heavy rain will expand farther northeastward
through southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
