ReadyHarris Urges Weather Awareness This Week

The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) is monitoring a series of fronts that will bring heavy rain to our area on beginning Sunday night and continuing through Wednesday.


The heaviest rain is expected to occur on Monday. Residents can expect 2-3 inches of rain with some areas receiving up to 5 inches. Our biggest threat will be potential high rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour that could lead to street flooding and rises in our network of creeks and bayous.


Tuesday rainfall is expected in the 1–3-inch range with Wednesday totals of 1-2 inches.


Hazards like high winds, hail, and tornadoes are not expected.


The City of Houston has announced that they will lower water level in Lake Houston by one foot in preparation for this rain event.


Residents should be weather aware and have multiple ways of receiving updated forecasts and warnings from the National Weather Service through the entire Monday through Wednesday period.
Motorists should expect rain during both morning and afternoon drive times. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown! Check the Houston TranStar live traffic map for information on road conditions.


You can see up-to-the-minute information on waterway conditions using the Harris County Flood Control District Flood Warning System.


HCOHSEM will provide updates via social media, Ready Harris Alerts and Ready Harris Accessible Alerts.

ReadyHarris insta a estar al tanto del clima esta semana

 La Oficina de Seguridad Nacional y Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Harris (HCOHSEM) está monitoreando una serie de frentes que traerán fuertes lluvias a nuestra área a partir del domingo por la noche y continuando hasta el miércoles.


Se espera que las lluvias más intensas ocurran el lunes. Los residentes pueden esperar entre 2 y 3 pulgadas de lluvia, con algunas áreas recibiendo hasta 5 pulgadas. Nuestra mayor preocupación será la posibilidad de tasas de lluvia elevadas de 1 a 2 pulgadas por hora, lo que podría provocar inundaciones en las calles y aumentos en nuestra red de arroyos y ríos.


Se espera que las lluvias del martes estén en el rango de 1 a 3 pulgadas, con totales de 1 a 2 pulgadas el miércoles. No se esperan peligros como vientos fuertes, granizo o tornados.


La Ciudad de Houston ha anunciado que reducirá el nivel del agua en el lago Houston en un pie en preparación para este evento de lluvia.


Los residentes deben estar atentos al clima y tener varias formas de recibir pronósticos actualizados y advertencias del Servicio Nacional de Meteorología durante todo el período desde el lunes hasta el miércoles.


Los conductores deben esperar lluvias tanto en las horas de la mañana como en las de la tarde. No conduzca su vehículo por carreteras inundadas. Recuerde: ¡Dé la vuelta, no se ahogue! Consulte el mapa de tráfico en vivo de Houston TranStar para obtener información sobre las condiciones de la carretera.


Puede obtener información actualizada sobre las condiciones de los cuerpos de agua utilizando el Sistema de Advertencia de Inundaciones del Distrito de Control de Inundaciones del Condado de Harris.

Lake Houston Lowering in Advance of Rain
HOUSTON – Council Member Fred Flickinger would like to make Lake Houston residents aware, Houston Public Works is monitoring weather forecasts for the Lake Houston region, with predicted rainfall of 3-5+ inches in our watershed beginning Monday through the week. The forecast of 3+ inches of rain in our watershed triggers the opening of Lake Houston Spillway Gates. Property owners along the lake should take measures to secure property along the shoreline. Additionally, residents are asked to secure patio and outdoor furniture. Lake Houston will begin lowering Sunday afternoon with lowering being completed before rain starts on Monday. The Lake Houston Spillway Gates will remain open to manage storm inflows until inclement weather has moved from our region. Lake Houston is currently at 42.22 feet (normal pool is 42.4 feet) and Lake Conroe is at 200.64 feet (normal pool is 201 feet). Please remember it is important to utilize verified news sources for inclement weather information as well as tune in to local news stations for changing forecasts. To monitor current water levels at Lake Houston, visit www.coastalwaterauthority.org. To see current levels for Lake Conroe you can visit www.sjra.net. Please also keep in mind with rain events flash flooding is always possible, stay weather aware and avoid roadways if possible during rain events. It only take 6 inches of water to move a car. Always turn around, don’t drown.

Freezing Temperatures Coming to our Area

During our last hard freeze in 2021 several homes in The Enclave experienced frozen water pipes and some pipes burst causing water damage. So, from lessons learned, be sure you have the pipes covered or insulated in the attic and eave where the water main pipe enters your home. And some of you may choose to turn off the water at the water meter and drain your house. Don’t forget to draw water for your use during the freeze period, including water to flush your toilet.

For additional information about the freezing temperatures, below are links to a few suggestions and information from local television news and public officials.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don’t think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You’ll look ten years younger. Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I love you’. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.” by Ann Landers
