| Detailed Description | HLSLCH This product covers Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas **BERYL STILL FORECAST TO BECOME A HURRICANE AGAIN BEFORE LANDFALL IN TEXAS** NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Lower Jefferson * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Storm Surge Watch and Tropical Storm Watch are in effect for Lower Jefferson * STORM INFORMATION: - About 320 miles south-southwest of Cameron LA or about 370 miles southwest of Morgan City LA - 25.3N 94.6W - Storm Intensity 60 mph - Movement Northwest or 320 degrees at 12 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ Tropical Storm Beryl continues to organize over the SW Gulf this morning. Latest NHC forecast depicts Beryl becoming a Cat 1 hurricane later today, before making landfall Monday morning along the middle TX coast. For the local area, the main impacts will be coastal flooding across Jefferson County and Cameron Parish, as well as gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Coastal flooding will likely begin across these areas today, and should begin to taper down throughout Monday as Beryl moves inland. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * SURGE: Prepare for life-threatening surge having possible significant impacts across Lower 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, prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across Cameron Parish. Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated. * WIND: Prepare for 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. * FLOODING RAIN: Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant impacts across Southeast Texas. Potential impacts include: - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, 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. Prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible limited impacts across Southwest Louisiana. * TORNADOES: Prepare for a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts across Southeast Texas and West Central to Southwest 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. Prepare for a tornado event having possible limited impacts across East Central to South Central Louisiana. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: 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 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 AM CDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. |
