The Brazos River in Richmond is at Gage Elevation 15.52 feet and falling. We experienced a quick rise on the Brazos River, peaking around 19.38 feet, due to the storms that pushed through the watershed last week. The Brazos River is anticipated to continue to fall throughout the week. Overall, the lower Brazos River watershed, along with much of Southeast Texas, should see drier conditions through the weekend. The 7-Day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) is showing the lower Brazos River Watershed receiving less than 0.1 inch of rain over the next 7 days. Based on the current forecast, no flooding due to the Brazos River through Fort Bend County is anticipated.
The National Hurricane Center is watching several storms and disturbances in the Atlantic, but there are no current threats for southeast Texas.
