TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO CONTINUES TO IMPACT DEEP SOUTH TEXAS

NEW INFORMATION

  • CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • None
  • CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Cameron Island, Coastal Cameron, Coastal Kenedy, Coastal Willacy, Inland Cameron, Inland Kenedy, Inland Willacy, Kenedy Island, and Willacy Island
  • STORM INFORMATION:

    • About 320 miles south-southeast of South Padre Island TX or about 360 miles south-southeast of Port Mansfield TX
    • 21.5N 95.9W
    • Storm Intensity 50 mph
    • Movement West or 260 degrees at 9 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW

As of 10 PM CDT, Tropical Storm Alberto was last moving west- southwest at 9 mph over the western Gulf of Mexico and is expected to reach the coast of Mexico early Thursday. Alberto still has winds of 50 mph and a minimum central pressure of 993mb. Slight strengthening is expected tonight before making landfall. Upon landfall, Alberto is expected to weaken, and will likely dissipate over Mexico Thursday or Thursday night. Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect for all of Kenedy, Willacy and Cameron counties.

The main hazard across the Lower Texas Gulf Coast into Deep South Texas continues to be flooding rainfall. Through Thursday night, an additional 2-4 inches is expected with locally higher amounts. Beach and marine conditions will remain hazardous through Thursday. Coastal flooding of up to 3 feet, deadly rip currents, high surf, gusty winds, and low visibilities in heavy rainfall all remain a possibility. A couple of tornadoes or waterspouts are possible as well.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

  • FLOODING RAIN: Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Potential impacts include:

    • Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    • Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    • Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. Streets and parking lots become filled with several feet of water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
  • WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast and coastal portions of Kenedy, Willacy, and Cameron counties. Potential impacts in this area include:

    • Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    • Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    • A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
    • Scattered power and communications outages.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast. Potential impacts in this area include:
    • Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    • Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
    • Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    • Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • TORNADOES: Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Potential impacts include:
    • The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
    • Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
    • Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

  • EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials.

  • OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: If you are a visitor, be sure to know the name of the city or town in which you are staying and the name of the county in which it resides. Listen for these locations in local news updates. Pay attention for instructions from local authorities.

Storm surge is the leading killer associated with tropical storms and hurricanes! Make sure you are in a safe area away from the surge zone. Even if you are not in a surge-prone area, you could find yourself cutoff by flood waters during and after the storm. Heed evacuation orders issued by the local authorities.

Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded roadway. Remember, turn around don't drown!

If in a place that is vulnerable to high wind, such as near large trees, a manufactured home, upper floors of a high-rise building, or on a boat, consider moving to a safer shelter before the onset of strong winds or flooding.

Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.

TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED

NEW INFORMATION

  • CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • All watches and warnings have been canceled
  • CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • None
  • STORM INFORMATION:

    • About 260 miles south of South Padre Island TX or about 290 miles south of Port Mansfield TX
    • 22.3N 97.3W
    • Storm Intensity 50 mph
    • Movement West or 275 degrees at 13 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW

As of 4 AM CDT, Tropical Storm Alberto was last moving west- southwest at 9 mph close to the eastern coast of Mexico. Alberto still has winds of 50 mph and a minimum central pressure of 993 mb. Upon landfall, Alberto is expected to weaken, and will likely dissipate over Mexico today or tonight. Tropical Storm Warnings are being discontinued for all of Kenedy, Willacy and Cameron counties.

Even with Alberto making landfall, some hazards are still expected to linger through today and possibly into tomorrow. Beach and marine conditions are expected to remain hazardous through today and tomorrow. This includes coastal flooding up to 3 feet, deadly rip current, high surf, and isolated gusty winds and low visibilities in isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms. Another 2-4 inches of rainfall is also possible today.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

  • FLOODING RAIN: Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood waters having further impacts of significant potential.

  • WIND: Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.

  • SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast. Potential impacts in this area include:

    • Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    • Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
    • Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    • Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • TORNADOES: Additional impacts from tornadoes are still a concern across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well braced against tornado event having further limited impact potential.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

  • OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

  • Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and flooded areas.

If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.

Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to arrive quickly.

Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do not tie up communications systems.

Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their points of contact.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear. Hazards like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads, continued flooding in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic lights make travel difficult.

Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate road hazards.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities give the all clear. Allow time for officials to inspect bridges and overpasses and to mark washed-out roads.

When entering areas that have been heavily damaged, bring along a GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on roads that have been marked closed.

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers interfere with the emergency work of first responders.

When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other leaking flammables.

Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe. Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can blow you off the roof.

When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows.

Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.

Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause flying debris.

Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings.

Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover the road. Turn around, don't drown!

Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly.

The main hazard across the Lower Texas Gulf Coast into Deep South Texas continues to be flooding rainfall. Through Thursday night, an additional 2-4 inches is expected with locally higher amounts. Beach and marine conditions will remain hazardous through Thursday. Coastal flooding of up to 3 feet, deadly rip currents, high surf, gusty winds, and low visibilities in heavy rainfall all remain a possibility. A couple of tornadoes or waterspouts are possible as well.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

  • FLOODING RAIN: Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Potential impacts include:

    • Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    • Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    • Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. Streets and parking lots become filled with several feet of water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
  • WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast and coastal portions of Kenedy, Willacy, and Cameron counties. Potential impacts in this area include:

    • Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    • Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    • A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
    • Scattered power and communications outages.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast. Potential impacts in this area include:
    • Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    • Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
    • Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    • Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • TORNADOES: Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Potential impacts include:
    • The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
    • Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
    • Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

  • EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials.

  • OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: If you are a visitor, be sure to know the name of the city or town in which you are staying and the name of the county in which it resides. Listen for these locations in local news updates. Pay attention for instructions from local authorities.

Storm surge is the leading killer associated with tropical storms and hurricanes! Make sure you are in a safe area away from the surge zone. Even if you are not in a surge-prone area, you could find yourself cutoff by flood waters during and after the storm. Heed evacuation orders issued by the local authorities.

Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded roadway. Remember, turn around don't drown!

If in a place that is vulnerable to high wind, such as near large trees, a manufactured home, upper floors of a high-rise building, or on a boat, consider moving to a safer shelter before the onset of strong winds or flooding.

Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.

This product covers The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas

TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED

NEW INFORMATION

  • CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • All watches and warnings have been canceled
  • CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

    • None
  • STORM INFORMATION:

    • About 260 miles south of South Padre Island TX or about 290 miles south of Port Mansfield TX
    • 22.3N 97.3W
    • Storm Intensity 50 mph
    • Movement West or 275 degrees at 13 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW

As of 4 AM CDT, Tropical Storm Alberto was last moving west- southwest at 9 mph close to the eastern coast of Mexico. Alberto still has winds of 50 mph and a minimum central pressure of 993 mb. Upon landfall, Alberto is expected to weaken, and will likely dissipate over Mexico today or tonight. Tropical Storm Warnings are being discontinued for all of Kenedy, Willacy and Cameron counties.

Even with Alberto making landfall, some hazards are still expected to linger through today and possibly into tomorrow. Beach and marine conditions are expected to remain hazardous through today and tomorrow. This includes coastal flooding up to 3 feet, deadly rip current, high surf, and isolated gusty winds and low visibilities in isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms. Another 2-4 inches of rainfall is also possible today.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

  • FLOODING RAIN: Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood waters having further impacts of significant potential.

  • WIND: Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.

  • SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across the lower Texas coast. Potential impacts in this area include:

    • Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    • Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
    • Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    • Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little to no impact is anticipated.

  • TORNADOES: Additional impacts from tornadoes are still a concern across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well braced against tornado event having further limited impact potential.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

  • OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

  • Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and flooded areas.

If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.

Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to arrive quickly.

Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do not tie up communications systems.

Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their points of contact.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear. Hazards like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads, continued flooding in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic lights make travel difficult.

Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate road hazards.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities give the all clear. Allow time for officials to inspect bridges and overpasses and to mark washed-out roads.

When entering areas that have been heavily damaged, bring along a GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on roads that have been marked closed.

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers interfere with the emergency work of first responders.

When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other leaking flammables.

Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe. Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can blow you off the roof.

When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows.

Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.

Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause flying debris.

Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings.

Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover the road. Turn around, don't drown!

Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly.
