Galveston flood zone
Sorry for the double AFD post but thought this is a better thread
The latest Hou-Gal AFD title says it all.....
...POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FLOOD SITUATION DEVELOPING FOR SATURDAY...
.DISCUSSION...
NO BIG SURPISES IN THE OFFING THIS FORECAST PACKAGE - WE ARE GOING
TO SEE SOME RAIN. THE CWA LARGELY CLEAR OF THE HEAVIEST RAINS THIS
AFTN AS MOST OF THE STORMS ARE FOCUSED ALONG THE OFFSHORE BOUNDARY.
SOME LIGHT/MODERATE RAINS LINGERING ALONG THE COAST AND DEVELOPING
OVER THE FAR NERN ZONES BUT THEY ARE NOT CAUSING THAT MUCH CONCERN
ATTM. SFC ANALYSES INDICATING THAT A SFC LOW MAY BE TRYING TO FORM
OVER THE LOWER/MIDDLE TX COAST. THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM FOR TOMORROW
AS THIS COULD PUSH THE OFFSHORE BOUNDARY INLAND AS THE NEXT STRONG
S/W MOVES INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT/EARLY TOMORRW. WITH THIS FEAT-
URE ACTING AS A FOCUS AND THE GROUNDS OVER MOST OF SE TX SATURATED
WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS FLOOD SITUATION LATER
TONIGHT/TOMORROW SHOULD THE MODELS VERIFY. FURTHER TO THE WEST...
MORE KINKS IN THE MACHINERY ARE LOOMING. STRONG STORMS (SPURRED BY
AFTN HEATING) DEVELOPING AROUND THE UPPER LOW MAY THROW A FEW MORE
BOUNDARIES THIS WAY. FFA WILL REMAIN UP AND ABOUT THROUGH TOMORROW
6 PM NEEDLESS TO SAY. BUT WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED IF THE FFA
WILL BE EXTENDED INTO SUNDAY AS PROGS CONTINUE WITH THIS SAME (AND
NOW QUITE FAMILIAR) WX PATTERN - UPPER TROFFINESS LINGERING AS PWS
HOVER AT/ABOVE 2" AND ADDITIONAL S/WS MAKE TRACK ACROSS THE STATE.
