This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Southeast Texas..
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Areas of fog mainly south of the interstate 10 corridor and some
areas may be impacted by patchy dense fog especially near the
coast and over the nearshore waters.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday
Tuesday a storm system is expected to move slowly through the
region departing Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. A
large swath of showers and thunderstorms will move through the
area and bringing heavy downpours and strong to severe
thunderstorms. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches will be likely
with some isolated areas receiving 4 to 5 inches in just a few
hours and could lead to street flooding. In addition isolated
strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with the main
threats of severe weather will be brief weak tornadoes and
damaging winds and in the stronger thunderstorms possibly small
hail. A surface low pressure system may develop and traverse the
area and could help to focus heavy rainfall in a larger swath.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation may be needed Tuesday.
