The Greater Houston area can expect heavy rain and possible river flooding through the end of this week, meteorologists say.

A storm system expected to bring several inches of rain over the next few days will likely push rivers and streams in the surrounding counties into flood stage, according to the National Weather Service. Those rivers and streams are not predicted to reach major flooding stages.

The rivers and streams expected to flood are:

Brazos River, near Rosharon

Brazos River, near Richmond

Trinity River, near Moss Bluff

Trinity River, near Liberty

Trinity River, near Romayor

Lake Creek, near The Woodlands

The city of Rosenberg closed two parks as the Brazos River is projected to reach minor flood levels later in the week, according to city leaders.

The city said it’s expected to be at minor flood stage by Thursday overnight into Friday, with the crest expected Friday morning.

Crews put up barricades Tuesday morning at the entrances of Becerra Park and Brazos Park, less than a mile up the river....

Interesting that the only drawdown are two lakes at or just below capacity. Army Corps of Engineers are either asleep or to busy building wall on the Rio Grande.
