The storm poses a high risk of flash flooding, particularly in urban and low-lying areas across eastern and central Texas. Rainfall rates could exceed 3-4 inches per hour during intense downpours, leading to rapid water accumulation. Communities along and east of Interstate 45 are expected to experience the heaviest rainfall, with potential impacts on roads, neighborhoods, and waterways. Emergency officials have warned of dangerous conditions, including river flooding and impassable roads, which could disrupt travel and daily activities.
