The ISDs are beacons of great decision making this year.

Just got an apology email from the Superintendent taking responsibility for the decision.

Can't be too angry when someone admits to messing up and apologizes.

Bayou level is just one of the problems in Meyerland. Street drainage into the bayou is another. When the water runs to the bayou and cannot through, it fills up the neighborhood even if bayou is in its banks. Houses started flooding during Harvey before bayou topped. It eventually didn't matter because it later topped, but that happened. That's why I live on the Norf-side now.

Beta is a messy storm and unpredictable, so this is just one forecast and far from gospel. Still, this model (and others) indicate the heaviest rains during the next 12 hours will probably stay north, and current radar trends support the idea that high rainfall rates will be most prominent across north, northeastern Harris County and into Liberty County.

Were such rain totals to come further south into Harris County they would pose a big risk to areas like Meyerland and Westbury, which have recorded in excess of 10 inches of rain over the last 24 hours. However, we have seen some good falls in Brays Bayou today which are continuing. So a few inches, which is our current expectation, are probably manageable, but 10 inches would be pretty bad.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
459 PM CDT Tue Sep 22 2020


.SHORT TERM [Tonight through Wednesday Night]...

Tropical Depression Beta, currently over southwestern portions of the CWA, has produced some very healthy rounds of heavy rain over portions of SE TX overnight/early this morning. There have been a lot of reports of flooded roadways, overtopping of bayous/creeks, and water rescues through early this afternoon. We did have a bit of a break this afternoon, but there is concern that this heating (albeit short) will help to fuel another round of heavy rains for this late afternoon through tonight. Near-term models (especially HRRR/NAM) have verified rather well of late, and if going forward with this line of thinking, we could see another band of rains develop close to where the earlier one set up this morning.

Rainfall totals so far today have averaged from 5 to 10 inches with isolated amounts up to 15 inches. Unfortunately, we are still going with these same numbers for this evening. And so depending on where these bands set up...we could see an *additional* 5 to 10 inches of rain with isolated amounts up to 15 inches possible tonight. Bayous and drainage systems are expected to be quickly overwhelmed if this forecast verifies. Please exercise extreme caution if traveling out on the roadways tonight and tomorrow morning. As Beta moves further east tomorrow, rain chances will be slowly decreasing from the west to east.
