SITUATION OVERVIEW

A very large area of low pressure over the Bay of Campeche has
increased its likelihood of development into a tropical system over
the next 24-36 hours as it traverses the western Gulf. With this
system expected to develop into a Tropical Storm as it approaches the
coast, all Tropical Storm Watches have been upgraded to Tropical Storm
Warnings.

Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect along all coastal
counties, bays and Gulf waters out to 60 nm from Baffin Bay through
Port O'Connor. Regardless of development and eventual landfall
location, there are several hazards and impacts expected across South
Texas from tonight through Thursday due to the large extent of this
system. The main threats will be:

• Flash Flooding: Moderate to high threat of flash flooding Tuesday
  through Thursday. Rainfall accumulations of 8-9" are expected along
  the Coastal Bend with localized rainfall amounts up to 15". Across the
  rest of the region, the Victoria Crossroads could see accumulations of
  6-8" through Thursday, while the Brush Country could have amounts as
  high as 4-6".

• Coastal Flooding: Significant coastal flooding is expected with up
  to 3 ft of inundation possible across the Middle Texas Coast including
  the bays between Baffin Bay and Matagorda Bay. In addition, there will
  be a High risk of rip currents.

• River Flooding: Considerable river flooding along portions of the
  eastern Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads from Tuesday night
  through Thursday. There is a 15% chance of Major flooding at Oso
  Creek.

• Winds: Sustained winds of 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph can be
  expected across the Coastal Bend, while winds of up to 45 knots can be
  expected over the bays and Gulf waters out to 60 nm from Baffin Bay
  through Port O'Connor.

• Hazardous Seas: Wave heights 12 to 15 feet with occasionally up to
  18 feet.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

• FLOODING RAIN:
  Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
  extensive impacts across South Texas. Potential impacts include:

  • Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    
  • Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
    multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may
    become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may
    become stressed.
    
  • Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
    communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
    away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
    Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with
    underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous.
    Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
    

• SURGE:
  Prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts
  across the Coastal Bend. Potential impacts in this area include:

  • Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
    immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
    farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    
  • Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread
    with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where
    surge water covers the road.
    
  • Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
    in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    
  • Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
    and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.
    

• WIND:
  Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the
  Coastal Bend. Potential impacts in this area include:

  • Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
    mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    
  • Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
    uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
    shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    
  • A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
    or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
    bridges and other elevated roadways.
    
  • Scattered power and communications outages.
    

Elsewhere across South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

• TORNADOES:
  Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
  across southern Coastal Bend. Potential impacts include:
  
  • The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
    of emergency plans during tropical events.
    
  • A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
    and communications disruptions.
    
  • Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
    toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
    large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
    knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats
    pulled from moorings.
    

Elsewhere across South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

• EVACUATIONS:
  Follow the advice of local officials.

• OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
  Now is the time to complete all preparations to protect life and
  property in accordance with your emergency plan. Ensure you are in a
  safe location before the onset of strong winds or possible flooding.

Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone
area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded
roadway. Remember, turn around don't drown!

Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes
