The National Weather Service is forecasting a low-pressure system to move through the Upper Texas Coast beginning tomorrow through Friday, bringing potential heavy rainfall to Galveston County and surrounding areas.
Weather models indicate a marginal risk of excessive rainfall that could result in minor flooding of low-lying areas and streets throughout the county. While significant flooding is not currently expected, residents should remain weather-aware and monitor conditions in flood-prone areas.
The Galveston County Office of Emergency Management reminds residents to exercise caution when encountering water on roadways. Even a few inches of water can be dangerous for vehicles. Drivers should never attempt to cross flooded roads and should instead find alternate routes.
Emergency Management officials will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates as the system develops. Residents can stay informed by following GCOEM on social media and signing up for emergency alerts through the Galveston County Emergency Notification System.
