<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">early this evening. Rapid weakening is expected after Hanna moves
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">inland.
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Locally, strong winds and high seas will continue to produce dangerous

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">beach conditions. At the coast, two to four feet of storm surge is
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">expected from Sargent on down the Gulf and Matagorda Bay coast, and
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">one to two feet of storm surge is expected from Sargent up the coast
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">through High Island. The surge combined with elevated tides will lead
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">to minor coastal flooding. The strongest wind field should remain over
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">the Gulf waters adjacent to Matagorda Bay. Inland, rain bands generated
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">from Hanna will move into Southeast Texas throughout the day today and
