**POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE ONE BRINGING MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT
COASTAL INUNDATION, STRONG WINDS, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS**
NEW INFORMATION
---------------
* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- None
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Brazoria Islands,
Coastal Brazoria, Coastal Jackson, Coastal Matagorda, and
Matagorda Islands
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 460 miles south of Galveston TX
- 22.7N 93.8W
- Storm Intensity 40 mph
- Movement West-northwest or 285 degrees at 8 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Potential Tropical Cyclone One continues to move west northwestward
through the southwest Gulf of Mexico. It may develop into a Tropical
Storm over the next 12 to 18 hours before making landfall in eastern
Mexico late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. Despite it
making landfall in Mexico and regardless of development, it has a large
wind field that will bring hazardous marine and coastal conditions to
Southeast Texas. Starting at San Luis Pass, Tropical Storm Warnings are
in effect for the coast southwards. Occasional strong wind gusts will
be possible for the rest of the the southeast Texas coast, so a Wind
Advisory is also in effect from San Luis Pass to High Island. Strong
winds will also be felt over the coastal waters where wind gusts up to
50 knots will be possible causing seas to rise to near 17 feet.
Coastal Flood Warnings are in effect along the coast as well where up
to 2 to 4 feet of innundation is possible. Water may wash over low-
lying roadways with some beach access becoming impassable. Locally
heavy rainfall will be possible tonight through this afternoon mainly
along the coastal counties. Minor urban and small stream flooding is
likely with a few instances of flash flooding possible. Winds will
slowly decrease through the day on Thursday, but elevated tides will
continue to be possible through Friday.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
coastal southeast Texas. Remain well away from life-threatening surge
having possible significant impacts. If realized, these impacts
include:
- Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by
waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast.
- Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads become
weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable low
spots.
- Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong and
numerous rip currents.
- Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially in
unprotected anchorages.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
portions of coastal southeast Texas. Remain well guarded against life-
threatening flood waters having possible extensive impacts. If
realized, these 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.
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
the rest of southeast Texas. Remain well guarded against dangerous
flood waters having possible limited to significant impacts.
Elsewhere across Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.
* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
coastal Southeast Texas. Remain well sheltered from hazardous wind
having possible limited impacts. If realized, these impacts 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 Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.
* TORNADOES:
Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across Southeast
Texas. Remain well braced against a tornado event having possible
limited impacts. If realized, these 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.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
During the peak of the storm be ready to move quickly. Keep your
shoes on and rain gear handy. Boots and athletic shoes offer the best
foot protection if you become unexpectedly exposed to the weather.
Keep your cell phone charged and in power-saving mode. If you lose
power, use it sparingly and mainly for personal emergencies and
check-ins.
If you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch
or warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic
rise in water levels.
If a tornado warning is issued for your area, quickly move to the
safest place within your shelter. Protect your head and body.
