Factors Contributing to Flooding

• 💧 The soil in affected regions is oversaturated, significantly reducing its ability to absorb rainfall.
• 💨 Light winds and stable atmospheric conditions at the surface, combined with instability higher up, are causing storms to persist and dump heavy rain.
• 📈 The risk level for flash flooding has been elevated from a slight risk to a moderate risk in the most affected areas over the past 24 hours.

Flood Watch and Timeline

• 🟢 A flood watch has been in effect for the entire highlighted portion of the state since Saturday afternoon and extends through Sunday evening.
• ⏳ The storm system is expected to linger through early afternoon before gradually moving east towards the Texas coast and dissipating by late afternoon.
