The National Weather Service predicts widespread showers and thunderstorms from this afternoon (Tuesday, May 7) until Thursday, May 9 in the Southeast Texas region including Missouri City. The storms may even accompany tornadoes or strong damaging winds, hail and street flooding. Additional rain is also expected Friday and into the weekend.

Due to the recent rainfall in the region, numerous area rivers, creeks and bayous including Brazos River and Oyster Creek remains elevated. This additional rain could contribute to the rapid rise in Oyster Creek in Missouri City and may leave a portion of the Edible Arbor Trail inaccessible.

Residents are encouraged to take precautions if necessary and monitor local weather reports before travelling around the area and sign up for emergency alerts on www.MissouriCityReady.com and Twitter—@MissouriCityEM.

Additionally, keep the streets clear of vehicles/debris to allow safe passage for our Public Safety and Public Works vehicles, keep the drainage system clean and protect your vehicle. Avoid traveling through flooded areas, and remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
