This prompted a Flash Flood Warning to be issued this morning for parts of Brazoria and Matagorda counties. Storm coverage has decreased this afternoon, although a few isolated showers may still develop. Don&#8217;t let your guard down as several more waves of rain will mess with us Thursday through the Memorial Day holiday weekend.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<h3>SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD STORMS CONTINUE<\/h3>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<p>Additional rounds of scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected tomorrow and Friday as deep Gulf moisture remains in place. Some storms could produce heavy rain and gusty winds, but exact timing is tricky because each round is based on small, fast-moving disturbances. We\u2019ll likely get one per day for Thursday and Friday. Keep in mind the flash flood risk will remain slightly elevated the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/houstonmovingjournal.com\/?p=2096\">Sheriff: Man threatened Walmart mass shooting if hantavirus led to lockdown<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- --> <!-- --><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Image 1 of 2<\/span> <\/p>\n<div>\u25bc<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<h3>FLOODING CONCERNS THIS WEEKEND<\/h3>\n<p> <!-- --><\/p>\n<p>Rain chances stay elevated through Memorial Day weekend with repeated rounds of storms possible across the region. Flooding concerns will likely increase, especially if an expected upper-level area of low pressure develops in north Texas. That would place the Houston in a favorable environment for heavier rain. We have already been placed in a level 2 out of 4 risk for street flooding both Saturday and Sunday.
