More rain was projected over the next two to three days, although heavy downpours had subsided and only another half-inch was expected through Monday night, he said. Rain gauges in parts of Harris County, which includes most of Houston, showed water levels approaching 20 inches since late Sunday night, with slightly smaller amounts elsewhere in Southeast Texas as bayous and creeks overflowed their banks.
