Houston weather forecast for Mother's Day: Flood Watch, rounds of storms and heavy rain

In typical Houston fashion, it's pouring on a holiday.

Relentless rains prompted the National Weather Service in Houston to issue a Flash Flood Warning for portions of our viewing area through early afternoon.

LIST: High-water locations reported on Houston-area roads

Multiple flood advisories and areal flood warnings were also issued overnight and early this morning as several inches of rain fell in some locations.

A Flood Watch has been extended until 9:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Flood waters will likely take some time to drain due to saturated grounds from last week's heavy rainfall.

Rain, varying in intensity will continue to fall throughout the day today, so it's important to stay weather aware and keep several safety tips in mind when navigating the roadways:

- Never drive around barricades or into flood waters, always seek an alternate route.
