Some parts of San Jacinto County have received up to 7 inches of rain in the last two days. FOX 26's Sherman Desselle is in Cold Spring from where they have set up a Red Cross shelter.

Continued heavy rain is expected to cause San Jacinto River to spill from it's banks. FOX 26's Damali Keith reports from the West Fork of the river in Humble.

Lake Conroe is two feet above normal and releasing the dam has caused flooding and water rescues. FOX 26's Randy Wallace has more details.

Flood Watch has been extended until Noon Thursday for the entire area. An additional 1-3" of rain is still possible through Thursday morning. Some areas north and west of Houston like Brenham and La Grange have picked up 7-13" of rain over the last 4 days. Parts of Huntsville have picked up close to 10" of rain since Sunday and Cypress and Katy have picked up around 5-7" of rain. So the ground is saturated and many creeks, rivers and streams have surpassed the flood stage and are still rising. Areal Flood Warning continues until midnight for several counties N/NW of Houston for street flooding caused by excessive rain. Numerous roads are still flooded and closed. So remember, turn around, don't drown! Always find an alternate route. Rain will remain widespread through this evening with another round of rain & a few rumbles of thunder expected late tonight through early Thursday. Severe storms are not expected. But watch out for some additional flooding that might develop along with lightning and wind gusts up to 40 mph. We should dry out for the rest of Thursday with another round of spotty rain and storms with our next front on Friday evening. Then our pattern shifts as we dry things out for an awesome-looking weekend.

Elevated water levels are underway along both the East and West Forks of the San Jacinto River. Projections indicate the likelihood of moderate lowland flooding in areas, specifically impacting Humble (West Fork) and New Caney (East Fork) as early as this evening, persisting throughout the week. It is advised to stay vigilant and stay informed about updates.

Rainfall will continue to move northeast across the viewing area this afternoon. Allow yourself some extra time if you're heading out today in case of road conditions or flooding. Harris County seemed to have more reasonable numbers. We're beginning to see more rounds of heavy rain Wednesday afternoon and we'll see the last batch of heavy rain roll through early Thursday morning.

A flood watch is in effect until noon. Expect several rounds of heavy rain, lightning and street flooding through the day with temperatures in the 60s.
