HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

LIBERTY, November 1, 2010 - TODAY AND TONIGHT AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL COMBINE WITH DEEPENING MOISTURE TO RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS. THE MOST WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY ALONG A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A FEW STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE. HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNBURST WINDS AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO. IN ADDITION...THE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.5 TO 1.5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED...WITH ISOLATED TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE. THIS WILL FALL AS BENEFICIAL RAIN...AND SIGNIFICANT FLOODING PROBLEMS ARE NOT EXPECTED DUE TO THE RECENT DRY CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...SOME BRIEF LOCALIZED FLOODING OF STREETS...FEEDER ROADS...AND LOW WATER CROSSINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

TUESDAY THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY MID MORNING TUESDAY. OTHERWISE...HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED.
