No additional strengthening is forecast.

I think the NHC is being too conservative with that

but regardless wind will not be the major threat, it'll be more and more and more rain

I have an aunt and uncle that just left that area as well. They were headed to 59 south to find a way out. Haven't heard any updates recently though.

Looks to me like that mess around lake arther is gonna continue north instead of coming to laffy.


That bottom part seems to be working its way east, but the stuff over Lake Arthur doesn't seem to be moving anytime soon.

Any news on the flooding in Cypresswood (Spring) area?



249 is open, but Louetta, Cypresswood intersections are underwater

the Kroger at Cypresswood is 2-3 feet underwater

Im near Cy-Creek HS on the west side of 249 and the water has stayed over the sidewalk and slowly rising since Saturday

Water has nowhere to go since Spring Creek, Cypress Creek and Addicks watersheds are in effect merged right now

KPRC interviewing some folks from LA doing rescues. Pretty uplifting segment all things considered.

Yes.

The numbers for SWLa are incredible though. Serious flooding if those numbers somehow verify.

I heard on NPR today that NOAA had to add colors to their forecast precipitation maps because the old ones couldn't reflect this storm's accumulation totals. Apparently they added several shades of purple to their scale.
