The National Weather Service says a Flood Watch is in effect for parts of southeast Texas as slow-moving storms bring the risk of heavy rain and flooding.

A Flood Watch is in effect for much of southeast Texas as slow-moving showers and thunderstorms move through the region Sunday night.

The National Weather Service said storms were expected to develop over southeast Texas on Sunday, with heavy rain and localized flooding possible through early Monday morning. Local forecasts said the storms could be slow-moving or train over the same areas, raising the risk of ponding on roads and minor street flooding.

ABC13, the Houston Chronicle, FOX 26 Houston and Click2Houston/KPRC all reported the same setup for the Houston area and surrounding counties.

Forecasters said the main concern is heavy rain, especially where storms repeat over the same locations. Residents in the watch area are being urged to monitor the latest forecast and be ready for rapid changes if flooding develops.
