KHOU 11 Meteorologist Brooks Garner says the rain should let up by 4 or 5 p.m.

"Two funnel clouds have already been sighted around Galveston Bay earlier this morning. Any additional funnel clouds and waterspouts should be short lived, but we cannot rule out a brief tornado," the National Weather Service tweeted.
