Houston weather: Flooding rains possible Thursday, Friday

A flood watch begins at 7am for Brazoria, Matagorda, Wharton, Jackson and Calhoun Counties at 7am tomorrow. We'll have about a 36 hour window from midday Thursday through Friday night for waves of heavy storms with 4-6" totals possible and a few strong to severe storms too. It's possible that we'll catch a break in the action, but showers and storms do look likely for Astros opening day tomorrow. Of course, the roof will be closed, but you may get wet before and after the game.
