A flood watch issued by the National Weather Service is in effect for some areas of Southeast Texas ahead of Tuesday’s threat of strong storms and flooding rainfall. The flood watch, which lasts through Tuesday, indicates where weather service forecasters think some rainfall totals could reach 6 inches or more over the next few days.
