College Station weather update - rain to affect gameplay |
Clemson faces off against Texas A&M tonight at 7 pm EST, and a line of thunderstorms could affect the game. On our way into the stadium we were forced to wait through two torrential downpours and the National Weather Service just released this update:
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a Flash Flood Watch for a portion of southeast Texas...including the following counties...Brazos (College Station)...Burleson...Grimes...Houston...Madison and Washington. * From 7 PM CDT this evening through Sunday morning. * The development of slow moving rain clusters and thunderstorms within a highly moist Gulf of Mexico air mass pooling just downstream of a central Texas stationary front will create a scenario of high rainfall rates across the Watch Area this evening. Widespread 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts of between 3 to 5 inches, are possible across the far northern forecast area, or generally north of a Brenham to Groveton line. * Rainfall rates that exceed 2 inches per hour will induce the flooding of low lying areas and roadways. Please take caution if out of the roadways after dark and be aware of flooded low lying areas or rural roadways.
