Flood watch advisories are still in effect across Harris, Liberty and Montgomery Counties after additional rounds of overnight storms battered the greater Houston metro.
Residents along the east fork of the San Jacinto River from FM 1485 to Lake Houston have been under a mandatory evacuation order since Friday, when County Judge Lina Hidalgo said river flooding conditions were catastrophic, and only getting worse this weekend.

The National Weather Service predicts one to three inches of rain will impact Southeast Texas on Sunday, with a possibility of four to eight inches of rain in smaller areas. Rivers will continue to be swollen for several days after the rain ends, according to NWS.
During a press conference Saturday, Hidalgo said there have been no confirmed deaths as flooding emerged in areas north of Houston, but floodwaters extended up to powerlines in some subdivisions along the San Jacinto River east fork.
This is a developing story.
