Therefore, the National Hurricane Center has upgraded it to Potential Tropical Cyclone One this afternoon. A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect along all coastal counties and marine zones 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 mainly east of I-37, especially in urban areas Tuesday through Thursday. Rainfall accumulations of 8-10" 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 30-35 mph with gusts to 40-45 mph can be expected across the Coastal Bend, while winds of 30-40 knots can be expected over the marine zones. - Hazardous Seas: Wave heights 12 to 15 feet with occasionally up to 18 feet. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * FLOODING RAIN: Prepare for life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across the eastern Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads. 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. Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant impacts across the eastern Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads. * 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: Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across South Texas. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the center of the storm. If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as near the ocean or a large inland lake, in a low-lying or poor drainage area, in a valley, or near an already swollen river, plan to move to safe shelter on higher ground. Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the forecast. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on Texas evacuation routes, see txdot.gov/driver/weather/hurricane.html - For information on creating emergency kits, see texasready.gov - For state assistance in an emergency event, tdem.texas.gov/response/state-of-texas-emergency-assistance-registry - For information on registering for emergency notifications in your area visit the websites below. - Corpus Christi and Nueces County: cctexas.com/reversealert - San Patricio, Aransas, and Refugio County: coastalplainlepc.org - Victoria County: vctx.org/page/oem.home - Calhoun County: www.calhouncotx.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi TX around 10 PM CDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. |
