HISTORICAL NOTES
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
RAINFALL: Bill is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
4 to 8 inches over eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma and 2 to 4
inches over western Arkansas and southern Missouri, with possible
isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches in eastern Texas.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring within the warning
area to the northeast and east of the center.
STORM SURGE: The combination of a storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters. The water could reach the following heights above ground if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Upper Texas and Western Louisiana coasts...1 to 2 feet
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the right of the center. Surge-related flooding depends on the
relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary
greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area,
please see products issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur over parts of southeast and
east central Texas and western Louisiana tonight through early
Wednesday.
