The radar

The Lake Charles radar (KLCH), 92 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 09:58 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Lake Charles Mun, LA (KLCH), launched 00:00Z, 9.9 hours before the alert went out and 91 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 911 PM CDT WED SEP 12 2007/

UPDATE...AFTER LATEST COORDINATION WITH TPC, CONSIDERING A
STRENGHENING TROPICAL STORM HUMERTO TAKING A ROUTE MORE TO THE
RIGHT, WILL NEED TO ISSUE AN INLAND TROPICAL STORM WARNING TO
INCLUDE JEFFERSON AND ORANGE COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS AS WELL
AS CAMERON AND CALCASIEU PARISHES IN SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA. LANDFALL
IS NOW EXPECTED NEAR SEA RIM STATE PARK IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 825 PM CDT WED SEP 12 2007/

UPDATE...THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO
EXTRAPOLATES WITH A NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF 6 KNOTS PER LATEST HGX (HOUSTON)
RADAR IMAGERY. HUMBERTO DEVELOPED RAPIDLY THIS AFTERNOON AND GAVE
AN IMPRESSIVELY TIGHT IMAGE ON LATE AFTERNOON VISIBLE IMAGERY. WE
ARE CLOSELY MONITORING CELLS ON THE EASTERNMOST BAND FOR ROTATION
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS FOR WATERSPOUTS ABOUT 45 NM OFF CAMERON. IF
THE STORM TAKES A JOG TO THE EAST, THE CLOSEST LANDFALL WOULD
STILL BE SOMETIME BETWEEN 1 AM AND 2 AM ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF
THE BOLIVAR PENINSULA.

SHORT TERM...WIND AND GUST GRIDS BEING ADJUSTED HOURLY WITH A
SLIGHT JOG TO THE RIGHT. ADJUSTED POPS FOR TEMPORAL GAPS BETWEEN
PRECIP BANDS BUT A STILL HEFTY 80 PERCENT FOR ALL EXCEPT S CEN LA
WHERE 70 PERCENT LOOKS APPROPRIATE...AND CLOSER TO GUIDANCE. THREE
HOUR RAINFALL ACCUMULTIONS HAVE BEEN GREATEST IN LOWER ACADIANA
WHERE 1 TO 2 INCH AMOUNTS ARE COMMON. LCH 88-D HAS BEEN
RECONFIGURED FOR TROPICAL OPERATIONS IN ORDER TO GAIN THE MOST
ACCURATE PRECIP ESTIMATES. A FEW LOCATIONS IN ACADIANA HAVE
ACHIEVED BETWEEN 7 AND 8 INCHES OF RAIN SO FAR INTO THE STORM.

LONG TERM...THE OFFICIAL TRACK TAKES HUMBERTO INLAND TO NE LA BY
FRI MORNING. MODEL TRACKS DIVERGE BEYOND THAT POINT. THE GFS HINTS
AT A CANADIAN COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA LATE FRIDAY WHICH
SHOULD BRING THE CURRENT RAINY PERIOD TO AN END.

AVIATION...MVFR CIG/VIS WITH OUR TERMINALS ON THE WET SIDE OF
HUMBERTO OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS SHOULD INCREASE AND VEER
FROM THE NORTHEAST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHT.

MARINE...A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE
COASTAL WATERS AS FAR EAST AS INTRACOASTAL CITY UNTIL LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT. THESE WARNINGS COULD BE DROPPED WHEN THE SOUTHERN
FEEDER BAND WEAKENS SUFFICIENTLY. THE BUOY 30 NM OFF HIGH ISLAND
HAS GUSTS TO 27 KNOTS...INCREASING.

HYDROLOGY...WILL MAKE COSMETIC CHANGE TO FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE
THE NAMING OF TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO. LENGTH OF TIME CONTINGENT
ON THE SOUTHERN FEEDER AND COULD BE SHORTENED FROM THE CURRENT
VALID TIME WHICH TAKES IT TO LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. CURRENT THINKING
IS MAX RAIN AMOUNTS UP TO 15 INCHES IN A FEW LOCATIONS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 537 PM CDT WED SEP 12 2007/

DISCUSSION...
TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO HAS STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE DAY. RAINFALL
TOTALS AT THIS TIME RANGE FROM THREE TO FOUR INCHES ALONG COASTAL
JEFFERSON COUNTY AND CAMERON PARISH TO FIVE INCHES IN EASTERN
VERMILION PARISH AND 1/2 INCH OVER NORTHERN VERNON PARISH AND
NORTHERN NEWTON...JASPER...AND TYLER COUNTIES AT THIS TIME. THE
STRONGEST STORMS ARE MOVING ONSHORE FROM VERMILION BAY NORTHWARD
IN AVOYELLES PARISH AT THIS TIME. THEREFORE THE FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE PARISHES IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

ISOLATED TORNADOES ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND PARISHES WITH
WATER SPOUTS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AS CENTER OF HUMBERTO MOVES
NORTHWARD TONIGHT.

ALSO THE SLOW PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE RAINFALL
TOTALS AROUND THREE TO FIVE INCHES ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA OVERNIGHT. RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH THE
ENTIRE EVENT 8 TO 10 INCHES WITH SOME LOCATIONS GETTING A BIT
MORE.
