454 PM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017
This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Southeast Texas..
.DAY ONE...Tonight
Rainbands from Hurricane Harvey will produce gusty winds, locally
heavy rainfall, and isolated tornadoes. The rainbands will become
more widespread through tonight. Storm surge of 4 to 6 plus feet
will affect the coast.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
Tropical storm force winds may occur along the Brazoria County
coast line as early as late Friday afternoon and persist through
Saturday afternoon. Gusty...primarily under tropical force
winds...will likely spread inland early Saturday morning and
persist through early Saturday afternoon.
Storm surge heights will range from between 4 to 6 feet along the
Gulf coast...1 to 3 feet around Galveston Bay...above ground level
with rising water levels occurring from as early as late tonight
and persisting through Saturday.
Total rainfall amounts over the next several days will range from
15 to 35 inches to localized near 40 inches. Rainfall of this
magnitude will cause catastrophic and life-threatening flooding.
Isolated tornadoes will also be possible within Harvey`s outer
thunderstorm bands.
Harvey is forecast to slowly meander across southeastern Texas through
mid week. This slow storm movement increases the probability of a
higher frequency of heavy rainfall episodes that will only exacerbate
areawide flooding.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters will be needed from today through the weekend.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Harvey has weakened to a Category 2 as it continues to
push inland along the Middle Texas Coast. The primary impact from
Harvey over Southeast Texas remains prolonged significant heavy
rainfall that will induce extreme widespread flooding through at least
the beginning of next week. Flash flooding has already begun across
the southwestern portion of Southeast Texas. Tropical storm force
winds are possible through around noon Saturday for the southwestern
portions of Southeast Texas. With the strongest winds tonight, storm
surge will be slow to recede through Sunday, particularly west of
Freeport. Elevated tide levels will continue through Tuesday.
Tornadoes will continue to form this morning, especially across the
coastal counties and first inland tier. Again, the primary emphasis
and greatest threat to life and property will be the extreme rainfall
amounts that will likely lead to a potentially catastrophic and
prolonged flash flooding event over the coming 3 to 5 days.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain will continue to unfold
across Southeast Texas over the next 3 to 5 days. Remain well guarded
against life-threatening flood waters having possible catastrophic
impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
- Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their banks
in many places with deep moving water. Small streams, creeks,
canals, and ditches may become raging rivers. Flood control
systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover escape
routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of raging water
with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become very
dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened
or washed out.
* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
the Matagorda Bay area. Remain well sheltered from life-threatening
wind having possible extensive impacts. If realized, these impacts
include:
- Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some having
window, door, and garage door failures leading to structural
damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some destroyed.
Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles. Locations may be
uninhabitable for weeks.
- Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and
roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways, and
access routes impassable.
- Large areas with power and communications outages.
Potential impacts from the main wind event are also now unfolding
across the southwestern portion of Southeast Texas. Remain well
sheltered from life-threatening wind having possible limited to
extensive impacts.
* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
the Upper Texas Coast, primarily west of Freeport. Remain well away
from life-threatening surge having possible devastating impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
- Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by
waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast.
- Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads become
weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable low
spots.
- Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong and
numerous rip currents.
- Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially in
unprotected anchorages.
Potential impacts from the main surge event are also now unfolding
across the Upper Texas Coast east of Freeport. Remain well away from
life-threatening surge having possible significant impacts.
Potential impacts from the main surge event are also now unfolding
across northern Galveston and Trinity Bay. Remain well away from locally
hazardous surge having possible limited impacts.
* TORNADOES:
Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across Southeast
Texas, particularly across the coastal and second tier counties. Remain
well braced against tornadoes event having additional limited impacts.
If realized, these impacts include:
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats
pulled from moorings.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
IMMINENT/ONGOING PHASE - Do not return to evacuated areas until
hazardous winds diminish and flood waters abate.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to remain safely sheltered from the storm. Stay
inside and away from windows. Listen for updates and be ready in case
you lose electrical power. Locate your battery powered radio and
flashlight from your Emergency Supplies Kit. Keep these items close.
During the peak of the storm, keep your shoes on and rain gear handy.
Boots and tennis shoes offer the best foot protection if you become
unexpectedly exposed to the elements.
Continue to keep your cell phone well charged for as long as
possible. If you lose power, use it more sparingly and mainly for
personal emergencies and check-ins. Do not overload communications
systems with idle chatter.
Do not venture outside while in the eye of a hurricane. Within the
eye, weather conditions may temporarily improve which can be
misleading. Once the eye passes, the wind will change direction and
return to dangerous speeds. Heavy rain will also return. Be smart and
remain safely hidden from the storm.
Do not be a thrill seeker or risk your life for senseless photos or
videos. Be wise and avoid becoming another statistic.
Be ready to move to the identified safe room if your home or shelter
begins to fail. Quickly move to an interior room on the lowest floor.
Put as many sturdy walls between you and the storm as you can.
Protect your head and body.
When major hurricanes make landfall, extreme winds bring a tremendous
threat to life and cause devastating to catastrophic damage. During
landfall, listen for extreme wind warnings which indicate the exact
timing and location of these incredible life-threatening winds. If
issued for you area, move to the safest place within your home or
shelter. Take the same life-saving actions as if it were a violent
tornado.

...TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT...
...STORM SURGE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT...
* WIND
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
- Peak Wind Forecast: 25-35 mph with gusts to 45 mph
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
- The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
tropical storm force wind of 39 to 57 mph.
- To be safe, prepare for the potential of limited wind
impacts. Remaining efforts to secure properties should now
be brought to completion.
- Hazardous wind is possible. Failure to adequately shelter
may result in serious injury. Move to safe shelter before
the wind becomes hazardous.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.
* STORM SURGE
- No storm surge inundation forecast
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: None
- The storm surge threat has decreased from the previous
assessment.
- Surf conditions may still be rough with some beach erosion.
Stronger than normal rip currents may also be present.
- Exercise due safety.
- Review your seasonal plan and ensure readiness for the next
storm surge event.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.
* FLOODING RAIN
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flash Flood Watch is in effect
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional More than two feet
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
- The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
the previous assessment.
- Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat of
extreme flooding where peak rainfall totals vastly exceed
amounts conducive for flash flooding and rapid inundation.
Rescues and emergency evacuations are very likely.
- To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
devastating to catastrophic flooding rain impacts.
- Life-threatening flooding is possible. Failure to take
action may result in serious injury, significant loss of
life, or human suffering. If flood related watches and
warnings are issued, heed recommended actions. Poor
decisions may result in being cut off or needlessly risk
lives. If vulnerable, relocate to safe shelter on higher
ground before flood waters arrive.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
- Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations
and rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their
banks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
creeks, canals, and ditches may become raging rivers. Flood
control systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
washed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
raging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
become very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures
with some weakened or washed out.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Tornado Watch is in effect
- Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
- The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- When implementing emergency plans, include a reasonable
threat for isolated tornadoes.
- To be safe, prepare for the potential of limited tornado
impacts.
- Listen for tornado watches and warnings. Be ready to
shelter quickly if a tornado approaches.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with
power and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,
chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or
overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,
shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown
off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.
