Flood watch north begins Tuesday

Given the recent, very heavy rain in Grimes, Walker, Polk, San Jacinto and Trinity Counties (among many others), the NWS has placed those areas under a Flood Watch beginning at 7 a.m. Tuesday. Although not under advisories just yet, pockets of heavy rain could affect Houston as well.

Also, some of the stronger storms could drop hail and high winds, so Tuesday is a Fox 26 Storm Alert Day and Wednesday could have lingering storms as well.
