STAY WEATHER AWARE
Emergency officials in Harris and Montgomery counties are alerting people living close by the San Jacinto River's East Fork of threatening water levels heading into Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for the east fork near New Caney, impacting Liberty, Harris, and Montgomery counties.
NWS added that major flooding is being forecast, with water levels potentially rising 10 to 15 feet, due to heavy rains upstream from storms on Sunday and Monday.
According to the Harris County Office of Emergency Management, widespread lowland flooding is expected along the river, affecting numerous streets. FM-1485 will be submerged under several feet of water and considered impassable, the OEM added.
In addition, emergency officials identified five neighborhoods that are expected to be impacted: Idle Glen Subdivision, Northwood Country Estates, River Terrace, Cypress Point, and the Kingwood area.
