less than an hour agoHeavy rain and flash flooding are a major concern in parts of Texas and Louisiana.Tropical Storm Nicholas, in the western Gulf of Mexico, will be a major rainfall flood threat to parts of the Texas and Louisiana coasts, in addition to strong wind gusts and storm surge.
A tropical storm watch is in effect on the Texas coast from east of High Island to Sabine Pass, and also for some inland counties including Harris County and the city of Houston. These areas could see tropical-storm-force winds by late Monday night or early Tuesday.The National Hurricane Center expects Nicholas to make landfall along the middle Texas coast as soon as Monday night, as depicted by the forecast path in the map below.
It's important to note that impacts, especially flooding rain, will occur well after any official landfall happens. with any tropical cyclone usually spread beyond its forecast path. )The potential for flooding rainfall will be the most widespread threat from Nicholas, regardless of its intensity at landfall.
Therefore, we expect a major threat of flash flooding near the Gulf Coast from Texas to southwest Louisiana through the first half of the week. Rainfall rates could be 2 inches per hour or greater at times in some locations. Do not drive through floodwaters of any depth and be sure to stay aware of the latest forecast and warning information if you live in a flood-prone location.
