Storms across Houston have led to mass power outages.

As many as 600,000 CenterPoint Customers were without power.

A Tornado Watch has been issued for Austin, Brazoria, Brazos, Burleson, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, Polk, San Jacinto, Walker, Waller, Washington and Wharton counties until 10pm.

According to Space City Weather, the most favored region for the heaviest rains will be north of Interstate 10, and likely in Montgomery County and points north. These inland areas should see 1 to 3 inches of rainfall, with higher bullseyes of 5 inches possible for some locations. Closer to the coast, south of Interstate 10, accumulations should be less. I’m most concerned about rivers, as flooding continues along the Trinity, East Fork of the San Jacinto, and lower Brazos basins.
