HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

LIBERTY, November 5, 2009 - FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE COMBINED WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE BAY OF CAMPECHE MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS. THE DETAILS OF THIS STORM SYSTEM ARE STILL UNCERTAIN BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL EXISTS MAINLY ALONG THE COAST AT THIS TIME. THE HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON WHETHER AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS IN THE GULF AND WHERE IT MOVES INLAND. SHOULD AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOP IN THE NORTHWEST GULF...STRONG EASTERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST. THIS MAY CAUSE TIDES TO INCREASE TO WHERE COASTAL FLOODING MAY BECOME AN ISSUE ESPECIALLY ALONG BOLIVAR PENINSULA. FORECASTERS WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS SCENARIO AND PROVIDE UPDATES FOR ANY CHANGES IN THE FORECAST.
