4.2 inches per hour rates in Meyerland from KHOU TV.
Water may begin backing into homes.

Brays Bayou is a slow-moving river in Harris County, Texas. A major tributary of Buffalo Bayou, the Brays flows for 31 miles (50 km) from the western edge of the county, south of Barker Reservoir along the border with Fort Bend County, east to its convergence with the Buffalo at Harrisburg.[1] Nearly all of the river is located within the city of Houston; it is a defining geographic feature of many neighborhoods and districts, including Meyerland, Braeswood Place, the Texas Medical Center, and Riverside Terrace.
As a result of its central route through Harris County, the Brays Bayou watershed is heavily urbanized. Over 700,000 people reside within its 129-square-mile (330 km2) drainage area, which contains 124 miles (200 km) of open-channel waterway, mostly from artificial drainage channels.[1] This high level of development, combined with a relative lack of flood control infrastructure, means Brays Bayou is extremely prone to flash flooding events.

Yep. Atascocita area here. Getting the flashlights out and enjoying the AC and TV while we have it.

Thanks for the insightful answer to my question above.

They are telling people to raise things up as high as they can in their house but to stay in house because roads are flooding.
Damn.
Damn.

Man that last band was no joke. We got pasted in Cypress. It's still coming down at a good rate but it was nearly comical how bad it was raining.

That might be the most disturbing thing I have read through all of this.

This is only the 2nd ever Flash Flood Emergency issued for Houston.

You see that orange stuff to the northwest on the radar? That's dry air, and will end this sucker unless it outruns it heading eastward or once again enters the gulf.
I think tonight is the worst of it.

Doesn't appear there will be the same gap between band as there was earlier today in Houston, but it will be relief for now nonetheless.

You should pass this insight along to the NWS.

No it won't. Right idea if we've got a developing cyclone.
The low has to go away or go east of Texas coast for the pull off the gulf to cease. It's just going to pull water off the gulf, it'll lift over Texas coast and rain and rain.
Eventually I'll pull toward the dry air and stop, but that pocket of dry air isn't going to overrun this thing.

Is it just me, or do they put the most random towns on these NWS graphics sometimes?

Mark my words. Been watching storms for a long time. That big red mass of dry air is a killer for these types of storms. Be glad about that.

Keep an eye on the area in the white circle, if cells start to fire in there to fill it in, that would be really bad.

I'd love for you to be right, but you aren't. As Duke said, dry air is a problem for a storm at sea trying to strengthen. A stalled low pressure system over Cuero, TX, doesn't have to worry about dry air when it is raining on Galveston.

I've been watching that same area myself. The current band that is going through didn't look all that impressive when it started, but it matured very quickly.
