SITUATION OVERVIEW

Tropical Storm Hanna will continue to slowly move west-northwestward
across the Gulf of Mexico today with a turn toward the west tonight.
A westward movement is expected to then continue through the weekend
is forecast to be near or move into the Texas Coastal Bend Saturday
morning. Hanna is expected to strengthen a bit more until it makes
landfall, with a gradually weakening as it moves further inland.

Locally, winds and seas will be on the rise today as Hanna
approaches the local Gulf waters, resulting in dangerous marine
conditions across the nearshore and offshore waters. In response,
tides will increase, which could produce minor coastal flooding. The
strongest wind field should remain over the Gulf waters adjacent to
Matagorda Bay. Inland, rainbands generated from Hanna will move into
Southeast Texas throughout the day today and tonight. The most
concerning threat remains to be flooding rains, followed by elevated
seas and tides. 3 to 5 inches of rain with isolated amounts of 8
inches or more are expected across the southernmost counties of
Southeast Texas with lower amounts expected elsewhere.
