Issue Date: 431 AM CDT MON SEP 6 2010
Expiration: 700 AM CDT TUE SEP 07 2010

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED DAY AND TONIGHT. THIS WILL
LEAD TO GRADUALLY BUILDING WAVE HEIGHTS ALONG AREA BEACHES AS
WELL AS THE THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS. SWIMMING IS DISCOURAGED WHERE
LIFEGUARDS ARE NOT PRESENT...ESPECIALLY NEAR JETTIES AND PIERS. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS EFFECT. RECREATIONAL BOATING IS NOT ENCOURAGED
IN THE GULF WATERS. OTHERWISE...INCREASING MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS
NEAR THE COAST AND OFFSHORE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY

TROPICAL STORM HERMINE IS FORECAST TO MOVE INLAND ALONG THE
COASTLINE OF SOUTH TEXAS OR NORTHERN MEXICO LATE TONIGHT THEN TRACK
NORTH NORTHWEST INTO WEST TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY. FAIRLY GOOD RAIN
CHANCES ARE ON TAP THROUGH THURSDAY AS DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE
STREAMS INTO THE AREA ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STORM.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN POSTED THROUGH TUESDAY FOR AREAS GENERALLY WEST OF A FREEPORT
TO COLUMBUS LINE. THIS MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER
NORTH AND EAST. IN ADDITION...A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT
FOR INCREASING TIDE LEVELS. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE USUAL
SUSCEPTIBLE SITES ARE MOST AT RISK FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AROUND HIGH TIDE. THESE AREAS INCLUDE THE
BOLIVAR PENINSULA...WESTERN GALVESTON ISLAND...THE BLUEWATER
HIGHWAY AND SURFSIDE.

CHANCES OF RAIN SHOULD DIMINISH FRIDAY AND THIS WEEKEND AS MOISTURE
LEVELS DECREASE AND AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE AREA FILLS BACK
IN FROM THE EAST.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
