...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH 
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

.A WARM FRONT MOVING BACK NORTH WILL COMBINE WITH TROPICAL
MOISTURE TO CONTINUE GENERATING HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH SUNDAY. CURRENT 
FORECAST MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE 
MOVING NORTH AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT AS IT PUSHES BACK OVER THE 
AREA FROM THE SOUTH. FLOODING MAY OCCUR DUE TO SATURATED SOILS IN 
OUR REGION...AND ALSO BECAUSE THE MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
BE SLOW ENOUGH SO THAT HEAVY RAIN CAN EXCEED LOCAL DRAINAGE 
CAPABILITY.
