| Detailed Description | HLSLCH This product covers Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas BERYL FORECAST TO BRING DANGEROUS STORM SURGE, FLASH FLOODING AND STRONG WINDS TO TEXAS OVERNIGHT NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for Hardin, Tyler, and Upper Jefferson * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Hardin, Tyler, and Upper Jefferson - A Storm Surge Warning and Tropical Storm Warning are in effect for Lower Jefferson * STORM INFORMATION: - About 200 miles south-southwest of High Island TX or about 220 miles south-southwest of Sabine Pass TX - 26.8N 95.5W - Storm Intensity 65 mph - Movement North-northwest or 335 degrees at 12 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ Tropical Storm Beryl continues to organize over the SW Gulf this afternoon, with recent satellite and radar imagery showing an eye wall attempting to form. Latest aircraft recon shows a minimum pressure of 989mb, and the official NHC forecast depicts Beryl becoming a Cat 1 hurricane by early tomorrow prior to sunrise, as it nears landfall. For the local area, the main impacts will be coastal flooding across Jefferson County and Cameron Parish, as well as heavy rainfall across SE TX and SW LA. Coastal flooding will likely begin across these areas laster tonight, and should begin to taper down throughout Monday as Beryl moves inland. Heavy rainfall capable of causing flash flooding has already begun to move inland and will continue through at least early Tuesday. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * FLOODING RAIN: Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across Southeast 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, arroyos, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. 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. Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited to significant impacts across Southwest Louisiana. * SURGE: Protect against life-threatening surge having possible significant impacts across Jefferson County. Potential impacts in this area 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. Also, protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across Cameron Parish. Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated. * WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across Southeast Texas. 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 Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated. * TORNADOES: Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts across Southeast Texas and West Louisiana. Potential impacts include: - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures. - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and boats tossed about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll. Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts across South Central Louisiana. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * 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 a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, be ready to shelter quickly, preferably away from windows and in an interior room not prone to flooding. If driving, scan the roadside for quick shelter options. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Lake Charles LA around 10 PM CDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. |
