- None
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Cameron Island,
Coastal Cameron, Coastal Willacy, and Willacy Island
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Coastal Kenedy, Inland
Cameron, Inland Willacy, and Kenedy Island
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 130 miles south-southeast of South Padre Island TX or
about 170 miles south-southeast of Port Mansfield TX
- 24.4N 96.2W
- Storm Intensity 65 mph
- Movement North-northwest or 340 degrees at 5 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
As of 4 AM CDT, Tropical Storm Francine is located 120 miles south-
southeast of the mouth of the Rio Grande and moving north-northwest at
5 mph. A continued northwestward to northward motion is expected
through this morning, followed by a turn and a faster motion to the
northeast beginning this afternoon. On the forecast track, Francine is
expected to move just offshore of the northern Gulf Coast of Mexico
today, and make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday.
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for Coastal Cameron,
Coastal Willacy, Cameron Island and Willacy Island. A Tropical Storm
Watch remains in effect for Inland Cameron County and Inland Willacy
County. A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect for Coastal Kenedy
County, including Kenedy Island. Impacts include heavy rainfall, high
rip currents, coastal flooding, dangerous seas, and gusty winds.
Rainfall amounts will generally be highest closer to the immediate
coast, with forecast rainfall amounts ranging generally from 3 to
6 inches. However, locally higher amounts cannot be ruled out,
especially across areas where persistent moderate to heavy rain bands
develop.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant
impacts across coastal counties. Potential impacts include:
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
rescues.
- Arroyos and larger creeks may quickly become swollen with swift
currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, and
ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid
inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions
become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.
Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
limited impacts across the remainder of Deep South Texas.
Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little
to no impact is anticipated.
* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts
across coastal Cameron and Willacy counties including the Islands.
Potential impacts in this area include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile
homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight
objects become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater
numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several
fences and roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. A few bridges and access routes
impassable.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little
to no impact is anticipated.
* SURGE:
Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited
impacts across coastal Kenedy county including the Island. 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 exposed parking lots could
become covered with some 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 damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few
small craft broken away from moorings.
Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little
to no impact is anticipated.
* TORNADOES:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across The Rio
Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
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!
If in a place that is vulnerable to high wind, such as near large
trees, a manufactured home, upper floors of a high-rise building, or
on a boat, consider moving to a safer shelter before the onset of
strong winds or flooding.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes
to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather
warnings.

Flood Watch
Flood Watch National Weather Service Brownsville TX 204 AM CDT Tue Sep 10 2024 .Tropical Storm Francine is expected to produce another 0.50 to 2.50 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts along our immediate coastal counties through this afternoon. Much if not all of the rain should come to an end sometime this afternoon as Francine is expected to lift north-northeast of our area quicker than previously expected. Given that little to no rain has fallen across Kenedy County up to this point and the fact that soils can handle the rain that`s projected to fall through this afternoon, we decided to cancel the Flood Watch for Kenedy County. Flood Watch continues for Cameron and Willacy Counties. We also adjusted the end time of the Flood Watch to 3 PM CDT this afternoon as much if not all of the rain associated with Francine should have come to an end.
