Radar imagery shows the most intense rainfall, shaded in red and orange on the moderate to heavy scale, concentrated directly over Mont Belvieu and extending south toward Anahuac. This core of heavy rain is moving slowly across the area, raising the risk of rapid flooding on roads and in low-lying neighborhoods.
