The disturbance should move offshore the Texas coast tonight,
move roughly parallel to the upper Texas coast on Wednesday and
move back inland in extreme eastern Texas or southwestern Louisiana
late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher

could become a tropical storm early on Wednesday. Weakening is
anticipated on Thursday after the system moves back over land.

RAINFALL: Potential Tropical Cyclone One is expected to produce
rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher totals near
20 inches, through Thursday from the Mid and Upper Texas coast
east-northeast into southern and central portions of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama, along with western portions of Georgia and
the Florida Panhandle. This could generate dangerous to
life-threatening flash flooding.
(snip)

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area beginning early Wednesday and within the warning area on
Wednesday morning.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Port Bolivar, TX to Morgan City, LA...2-4 ft

SURF: Swells generated by the Potential Tropical Cyclone are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions
along the northwestern Gulf Coast for the next couple of days.
Please consult products from your local weather office.

TORNADO: A tornado or two is possible tonight and tomorrow from the
Upper Texas coast across southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and the Florida Panhandle.
