623 AM CST SAT DEC 3 2016
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND A
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE COAST.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OVERNIGHT OF 0.25 TO 3 INCHES BEGINNING THE
PROCESS OF SATURATING THE SOILS ACROSS THE REGION. UNUSUALLY
MOISTURE RICH AIR FOR DECEMBER FLOWING INTO THE REGION WILL
INTERACT WITH A STATIONARY FRONT NEAR THE UPPER TEXAS COAST TODAY.
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING INTO AND THEN
THROUGH THE STATE WILL PROVIDE ABUNDANT LIFT TO THE SATURATED
AIRMASS LEADING TO PERIODS OF RAIN MIXED WITH BANDS OR CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE STEADY LIGHT RAIN SHOULD NOT POSE
A THREAT OF FLOODING BUT THE BANDS THAT FORM MAY PERSIST OVER THE
SAME AREAS INCREASING THE FLOOD THREAT. THESE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF HEAVY RAINFALL. HEAVY OR INTENSE
RAINFALL WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SHORT PERIODS OF STREET FLOODING AND
FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS. THIS WILL BE A WEEKEND LONG EVENT SO
RAIN WILL NOT FALL ALL AT ONCE WITH TIME FOR STREETS AND CREEKS TO
DRAIN BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND OF RAIN RETURNS. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL
OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BANDS OF 5 TO 7 INCHES
WITH SOME ISOLATED PLACES RECEIVING 8 TO 11 INCHES. ROAD PONDING
AND STREET FLOODING SHOULD BE THE MAIN HEAVY RAIN THREATS TODAY.
ELEVATED TIDE AND THE HEAVY RAINFALL MAY COAST COASTAL FLOODING
MAINLY FROM THE FREEPORT AREA UP THROUGH GALVESTON BAY AND TO HIGH
ISLAND.
AS THE WARM FRONT CREEPS INLAND TODAY ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE COASTAL COUNTIES. THESE SHOULD BE SHORT
LIVED. THE TORNADO THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EAST THE THREAT
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS SHOULD BEGIN TO SHIFT
SOUTHWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD
BE SOUTH OF A COLUMBUS TO CONROE TO LIVINGSTON LINE. THE THREAT
FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE AND RIVER...STREAMS AND BAYOUS
MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO BECOME INVOLVED AFTER SATURDAYS HEAVY RAINS.
THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE BACK OFFSHORE AND THE THREAT OF TORNADOES
SHOULD DIMINISH. WATERSPOUTS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE COASTAL
WATERS. DURING THE DAY MONDAY A PACIFIC COLD FRONT SHOULD SWEEP
THROUGH SOUTHEAST TEXAS BRINGING ONE LAST GASP OF HEAVY RAINFALL
AND A POSSIBILITY AGAIN OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ALONG AND
EAST OF AN ANGLETON TO HUNTSVILLE LINE. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY
NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO MONDAY.
A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AND
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. THE FIRST FREEZE OF THE
SEASON MAY DEVELOP FRIDAY MORNING.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
HEIGHTENED SPOTTER AWARENESS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
