Flash flood warnings were issued on Wednesday for sections of coastal southeast Texas hit by Hurricane Harvey past summer.

The parts and cities of Texas were hit by heavy rain, where huge number of migrants seeking entry into the United States await processing at a detention center, however, there were no prompt reports of difficulties at the center because of the rain.

According to Weather service, the flash flood warnings were issued for southeast Hidalgo and northwest Cameron counties, along the Mexican border.

"This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!" the weather service said. "Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles."

Flash flooding was reported in Hidalgo County, which is already drenched with 4 to 6 inches of rain. Meteorologists foretell another 2 to 4 inches of rain on Wednesday across southeastern coastal Texas.

The warnings expired at 2:45 p.m. Central Time, as the rainfall diminished.

"Things are looking better over the next few days," said media's weather team.

According to meteorologists, flash flood watches are likewise in effect for areas south of Houston to Brownsville, at the Mexican border, with flash flood warnings popping up as storms flare.

According to the Corpus Christi office of the weather service Tweet,  12.89 inches of rain had fallen between 7 a.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Wednesday in the city's northwest section.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to continue through Thursday, the National Weather Service tweeted.

The system producing the rainfall is not a tropical system, CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said, but it does contain ample amounts of tropical moisture and is dumping it at rates normally found in a tropical storm.

Rain also continued to fall near Houston, causing more wretchedness for places still reeling from the impact of Hurricane Harvey past summer. Flash flood watches issued on Wednesday just southwest of Houston could be "extended eastward during the day", the weather service's local office said.
