Owner Axah Curiel said Manos de Coquito opened June 6 and is now offering handmade gifts in Humble.

What they offer: Handcrafted items offered include floral arrangements, custom gifts, crochet creations, apparel, accessories and products from local artists and businesses.

Quote of note: “Manos de Coquito was created to support creativity, celebrate handmade craftsmanship and provide a space where local makers can showcase their talents," Curiel said. "Many of our products are handcrafted with love and inspired by family traditions. The shop is especially meaningful to me because it is named in honor of my grandmother, whose creativity, hard work and love continue to inspire me every day. Through Manos de Coquito, I hope to share that legacy while offering unique handmade gifts, custom creations and a welcoming space that supports local artisans and small businesses in our community."

Harris County officials are urging caution as the National Weather Service has forecasted multiple days of heavy rainfall across the Greater Houston area.

What you need to know: Officials with the National Weather Service are maintaining a flood watch over a large swath of southeast Texas through June 18. The watch stems from a semi-stationary front moving across the region alongside a disturbance in the Gulf with a 60% chance of developing into a tropical storm before bringing additional rainfall to the region, NWS officials said. 

What’s being done? Gov. Greg Abbott signed a disaster declaration for 101 counties in southeast Texas, including Brazoria, Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend and Galveston counties June 15. Harris County and the city of Houston have also activated emergency response initiatives, such as lowering Lake Houston levels ahead of additional rainfall.

Before you go: State and county officials are asking residents to remain aware of weather changes through the end of the week due to forecasted heavy rain and flash flooding.

Harris County commissioners requested additional information to create a new county committee that aims to streamline the process for moving infrastructure projects forward at the county level. The action follows concerns regarding the county's transparency and efficiency in addressing large infrastructure needs.

The big picture: County Administrator Erica Lee Carter presented the committee's structure and scope during the June 11 meeting, stating it will focus on creating standardized processes and procedures for infrastructure-related projects across all county departments. The committee would also keep track and create standardized reports for multiple infrastructure initiatives that have been operating under their own committees, including:

• Downtown Master Plan
• Vision Zero workgroup
• Transportation Master Plan
• Hardy Connector committee
• 2018 Flood Bond workgroup
