Flash Flood Emergency For Houston

Another frightening situation is setting up for the Houston Metro overnight as a firehose of thunderstorms along the outer feeder band of Tropical Storm Harvey is lined up to pour buckets of rainfall on the city.

Flooding over the next five days could rival that of Tropical Storm Allison, which was devastating in the Houston area.

Here is the current radar on the left and one-hour rainfall estimates on the right. They are probably slightly underdone.

Here is the statement from the NWS Houston/Galveston:
