The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for Galveston County until 11 AM today.
Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are a threat as the strong storm system moves across the state.
Showers and thunderstorms are predicted for our area until late afternoon, and some rainfall may be heavy.
Western portions of our area have already seen significant rainfall, and totals could be between 1 and 3 inches before the front moves through. This could lead to street flooding and rising water levels in area streams and bayous.
Remember, never drive through water and, if possible, remain indoors today! As the Weather Service reminds us, Turn Around – Don’t Drown.
