Oficjalne ostrzeżenia o ciężkiej pogodzie w pobliżu South Padre Island

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, significant coastal flooding. For the High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves of 9 to 14 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...Kenedy Island, Willacy Island and Cameron Island Counties. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 1 PM CDT Thursday.

HLSBRO This product covers The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas **ALBERTO'S CENTER EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST OF MEXICO EARLY THURSDAY** 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 310 miles south-southeast of Brownsville TX or about 350 miles south-southeast of Port Mansfield TX - 21.9N 95.3W - Storm Intensity 40 mph - Movement West-southwest or 250 degrees at 9 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ As of 4 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 40 mph and a minimum centralized pressure of 995mb. Slight strengthening is expected tonight before making landfall. Upon landfall, Alberto is expected to undergo weakening, 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 the 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 ---------------------------------- * 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. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Brownsville TX around 10 PM CDT, or sooner if conditions warrant.

For the High Surf Warning, until 7 PM CDT Thursday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Structural damage to buildings unprotected by seawalls may occur. Gulf water is crossing public beach access points, closing State Highway 100 from Beach Access #4 northward. Expect water crossing Gulf Blvd. with more than one foot of water depth. Driving on beaches, even in vehicles equipped with four wheel drive, will be impossible. Severe beach erosion, with calving of dunes, is likely. Breaking waves can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas. Life-threatening swimming conditions and significant beach erosion can be expected.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...All of Deep South Texas, including the following areas, Brooks, Cameron Island, Coastal Cameron, Coastal Kenedy, Coastal Willacy, Inland Cameron, Inland Kenedy, Inland Willacy, Jim Hogg, Kenedy Island, Northern Hidalgo, Southern Hidalgo, Starr, Willacy Island and Zapata. * WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Abundant tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Alberto will allow for high rainfall rates that may exceed 3 inches per hour in the strongest showers or thunderstorms. These rainfall rates could produce localized streets and low-lying areas to flood for a short period of time. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
