It’s pouring it’s a** off over here!!! I had to drive through it on my way to my sisters house in East Bernard for Thanksgiving. Many cars were pulled over on the side of the road. I had to drive 40mph almost the whole way. I could barely see anything.

KHOU is very deservedly catching absolute hell this afternoon for interrupting the dramatic ending of an NFL game for a tornado warning and refusing to keep the game video on in the corner of a split screen.

Of course there has to be an interruption for a tornado warning, but there's zero excuse for not split screening. The critical weather info still gets conveyed when 75% of the tv image and 100% of the sound is covering the weather.

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL AND UPPER TEXAS GULF COAST...

...2030Z Update...

High resolution CAMs are beginning to key in on a potentially
significant flash flooding event across the central and upper
Texas Gulf Coast on Friday. Plentiful Gulf moisture and some
instability along the TX Gulf Coast will support repeating
thunderstorms. Most of the significant rainfall in the Moderate
Risk area will be overnight Friday night into Saturday morning
(after 00Z). While this will limit impacts as far as traffic is
concerned, overnight flash flooding has its own dangers for those
in flood-prone areas. Otherwise, the model discrepancies today are
night-and-day better than 24 hours ago
. That said, there remain
some minor differences, particularly on where exactly the heaviest
rainfall will be, with some models continuing to hint that the
main forcing will be inland, closer to the upper level low. These
areas will certainly get quite a bit of rain, but without the
instability it's expected that there will be training showers, and
very little in the way of convection. Thus, the 2-4" possible
across north central TX are likely to fall for much of the day and
the first part of the overnight...in other words, spread out over
a long period of time.

Thus, while the Moderate Risk was introduced along the coast,
areas further inland were downgraded from the Slight to a Marginal
risk. Due to the much better consistency (generally speaking) in
the models with the overnight runs, much of the meteorology
described in the previous discussion below remains unchanged.
