Greater Houston officials prepare as Tropical Storm Edouard makes landfall

Greater Houston-area officials are monitoring conditions as a tropical system could bring heavy rainfall and the potential for flash flooding to the area through Sept. 2, per the National Weather Service.

What’s happening: The latest update from the National Weather Service states Tropical Storm Edouard is moving inland, and is expected to bring heavy rains and flash flooding to portions of the area on Sept. 2.

Gov. Greg Abbott at an Aug. 31 press conference said the forecast could include a storm surge of 2-4 feet in Chambers and Jefferson counties, as well as local rainfall getting as high as 10-15 inches, including in some areas getting 3-4 inches per hour.

While the rainfall is expected to affect the area’s rivers, it’s too early to tell if it will pose any imminent danger, Abbott said.

Harris, Waller counties, drainage district announce joint flood resiliency coalition

A regional flood resiliency coalition among the Brookshire-Katy Drainage District, Harris County and Waller County will join efforts to reduce flood damage in the region.

The overview: Officials with the four entities signed a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, during a ceremony Aug. 31. Harris and Waller counties will partner with the Brookshire-Katy Drainage District to “expand flood warning systems, build strategic detention capacity and protect families across jurisdictional lines,” according to a news release. The entities have interconnected watersheds and drainage systems that require “proactive regional coordination,” according to the MOU.

The context: Harris County previously partially funded a study with the Brookshire-Katy Drainage District, which looked at ways to mitigate flooding along major creeks in the Katy area. The coalition will expand on that relationship, potentially improving the flood warning system and sharing technology between counties, Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones said.
