The NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center has classified the disturbance off the southeast Texas Coast as Tropical Storm Imelda. A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued along the coast between Sargent and Port Bolivar. Regardless of its classification, the main threat with this slow-moving system from this afternoon through Thursday evening will be heavy rain and flash flooding. The flood threat will be higher in urban, low-lying, and poor drainage areas. We currently expect the highest rainfall totals to stretch from Matagorda County northeastward to Liberty County. Travel will likely be hazardous, and street flooding is anticipated. Remember to never attempt to drive across a flooded roadway or around a barricade.
