Brazoria-Chambers-Galveston-
517 AM CDT Fri Jun 23 2017
This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Southeast Texas..
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Elevated tide levels and wave run up may produce some minor coastal
flooding along the Blue Water Highway, Surfside, and at the Highway
87 and 124 intersection of the Bolivar Peninsula early this morning.
Moderate to strong rip currents are also possible along area
beaches today.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
We will be keeping an eye on water levels around times of high
tide on Saturday as they could briefly approach levels needed for
minor coastal flooding at the most susceptible locations.
Increased chances of showers and thunderstorms are expected this
weekend into early next week. With slow storm motions, we will be
keeping an eye on the possibility for some localized heavy
rainfall.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.
