Houston Texas. – The most recent report from the National Hurricane Center reports that tropical storm Imelda lost intensity and has now become a depression. The system formed around the middle of this Tuesday and made landfall in the coastal city of Freeport, south of Houston, and continues to move inland and is expected to leave large accumulations of rainwater in its wake.

The system is moving at 7 miles per hour (11 km) northbound and is expected to continue with this movement pattern until Wednesday morning. From Wednesday night, until Thursday, it would be moving northwest. A northwest movement is expected Wednesday night and Thursday.
In the forecast of the journey, the center of the storm will continue to move further inland through East Texas from this Tuesday night to Wednesday.

The maximum sustained winds of Imelda at this time are about 35 mph (55 km) with some stronger gusts.

Imelda is expected to generate widespread accumulations of rainwater between 6 to 12 inches and up to 18 in some isolated sectors along the north coast of Texas, including areas of Houston and Galveston. These rounds of rains can cause severe flash floods that pose a danger to life.

So far, flash flood surveillance has been issued for Houston and most surrounding cities that are located southeast of I-10.

There is also a current tropical storm warning for Harris, Chambers Brazoria and Galveston counties.
