Tropical Storm Nicholas could bring up to 20 inches of rain to the Gulf Coast; landfall is expected Monday evening or early Tuesday between Corpus Christi and Galveston.
Regardless of strength at landfall, however, the expected impacts won't change — the greatest of all being significant flash flooding.
To make matters worse, the heaviest rainfall for Houston and surrounding areas looks to happen after nightfall, compounding the danger. Meteorologists are urging not to drive over water-covered roadways, as the majority of flood-related deaths happen in vehicles.
