The tropical storm and its remnants will continue moving inland with winds which won't be as strong as they were but will still be gusty in the Houston metro area, along with heavy rain. This is not the same kind of situation as with Allison in 2001, but if one of those bands of torrential downpours gets stuck over a given place it will produce flash flooding, like that which closed I-10 for awhile near Anahuac. Where flooding does not occur the rain will be beneficial, as the region is still in the midst of a drought.
