THE WOODLANDS, TX - Beta has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Tropical Depression Beta is expected to slowly move east northeast today bringing additional rain across much of southeast Texas. SJRA continues to operate under standard protocols for a severe weather event at Lake Conroe. Overall rainfall totals are expected to be moderate in the 2 to 3 inch range, but localized flash flooding may occur in areas that receive short-term, heavy rainfall.
Lake Conroe reservoir level remains approximately 16 inches low and based on the current forecast, no reservoir releases are expected. Less than one inch of rain has been recorded at Lake Conroe in the last 24 hours.
