Thankfully today's rains have mostly been manageable, but the Flood Watch has been extended into Friday afternoon. Why? The ground is super-saturated and additional rains are on the way.

More scattered tropical downpours are expected to develop overnight and push through during the morning and afternoon hours. This time most of the heavy rain should fall over land rather than over the Gulf of Mexico. An additional 2-4" of rain could fall in the watch zone, and street flooding remains our biggest concern.
