- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
- Peak Wind Forecast: 25-35 mph with gusts to 45 mph
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
- The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
hurricane force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent
Category 1 to 2 intensity.
- To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
extensive wind impacts. Remaining efforts to secure
properties should now be brought to completion.
- Dangerous and life-threatening wind is possible. Failure to
adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of
life. Move to safe shelter before the wind becomes
hazardous.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive
- Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some
having window, door, and garage door failures leading to
structural damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some
destroyed. Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles.
Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks.
- Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and
roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within
urban or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways,
and access routes impassable.
- Large areas with power and communications outages.

swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places,
especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams,
creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge
closures.
* TORNADO

swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places,
especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams,
creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge
closures.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
- The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
- Sarita
- King Ranch
* WIND
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
- Peak Wind Forecast: 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
- The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane
force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2
intensity.
- To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life.
Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
- Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to
adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of
life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.
* STORM SURGE
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
- Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 2-4 feet
above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
- Window of concern: Begins early this morning
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Moderate
- The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
dangerous storm surge flooding of greater than 3 feet above
ground.
- To be safe, earnestly prepare for the potential of
significant storm surge flooding impacts. Evacuation
efforts should now be brought to completion. Evacuations
must be complete before driving conditions become unsafe.
- Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
evacuation orders may result in serious injury or loss of
life. Leave if evacuation orders are given for your area.
Consider voluntary evacuation if recommended. Poor
decisions may needlessly risk lives.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
- Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated
by waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the
coast.
- Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads
become weakened or washed out, especially in usually
vulnerable low spots.
- Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong
and numerous rip currents.
- Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially
in unprotected anchorages.
* FLOODING RAIN
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flash Flood Watch is in effect
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 2-4 inches, with locally
higher amounts

rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos,
and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,
destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while
increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides.
Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover
escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some
weakened or washed out.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Situation is unfavorable for tornadoes
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: None

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this hurricane warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Brownsville, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this hurricane warning went out at Aug 24, 12:09 AM CDT, 4 hours 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 12:09 AM CDT, 4 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
1209 AM CDT Thu Aug 24 2017
.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
&&
.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail tonight through most of
the day Thursday. Winds will become light and variable overnight
before increasing and becoming easterly by midmorning. Convection
along the seabreeze possible Thursday, but coverage is expected
to remain isolated in nature. Shower and thunderstorm chances ramp
up going into Thursday evening as Tropical Storm Harvey moves
closer to the Texas coastline and as such have added in a TSRA
line to the package.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 634 PM CDT Wed Aug 23 2017/
DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
AVIATION...Only minor adjustments made to the previous issuance
of TAFs. VFR will prevail this evening and through the overnight
hours as moderate surface winds diminish to light and variable
levels. Tomorrow, convection is expected along the seabreeze
boundary, but is expected to remain too isolated to warrant a
mention in the current TAF issuance.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 350 PM CDT Wed Aug 23 2017/
SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night): Seabreeze convection is
developing over the eastern and central portions of Deep South
Texas and the Rio Grande Valley right now. This should fade around
sunset, leaving only streamer activity tonight over the Lower
Texas coastal waters and immediate three coastal counties. Another
round of seabreeze convection is likely tomorrow. Tomorrow night,
however, rapidly increasing precipitation chances are forecast as
organizing Tropical Depression Harvey moves closer to the Texas
coastline. A Storm Surge Watch is in effect for Padre Island north
of Port Mansfield. Residents of Deep South Texas and the Rio
Grande Valley are urged to monitor this developing weather
situation through the next few days.
LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday): The main concern for
start of the long term period remains Harvey. Mid level weakness
over the northwest Gulf of Mexico will continue to allow Harvey to
move northwest to north-northwest towards the middle Texas coast. On
this forecast track, Harvey is expected to pass northeast of Deep
South Texas. The latest National Hurricane Center forecast brings
the closest point of approach with Harvey about 90 miles to the
northeast of Brownsville or around 70 miles northeast of Port
Mansfield Friday morning. The system will only move farther away
toward the middle Texas coast during the day on Friday.
Rain chances across the eastern sections of the CWA will peak on
Friday with two to three of inches of rainfall possible across much
of the area with locally four inches near the coast. Some rain bands
training from north to south may occur, which would appear to be the
biggest threat for potential nuisance flooding. Gulf water runup to
the dunes and minor beach erosion will be possible through Friday
morning. Cloud cover will be plentiful Friday and Saturday, with low
temps in the 70s and slightly depressed high temperatures. High
temperatures on Friday will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s across
eastern sections, a skosh below normal. High temperatures will
gradually increase on Saturday into early next week courtesy of
drier air on the west side of the circulation over East Texas and is
brought south. Upstream ridging will build over the region early
next week, resulting in fewer clouds and warmer temperatures.
MARINE (Now through Thursday Night): Buoy 42020 reported
northeast winds around 10 knots gusting to around 14 knots with
seas slightly over 2.5 feet with a period of 6 seconds at 15
CDT/20 UTC. Favorable marine conditions are expected tonight under
the influence of weak low pressure. Tomorrow and tomorrow night,
however, rapidly deteriorating marine conditions are likely as
organizing Tropical Depression Harvey moves closer to the Texas
coastline. A Tropical Storm Watch and a Hurricane Watch are in
effect for the Lower Texas coastal waters. Mariners are urged to
monitor this developing weather situation through the remainder of
this week.
Friday through Monday night: On going hazardous marine conditions
will continue across the lower Texas Gulf waters on Friday as Harvey
skirts the marine areas. The Laguna Madre will remain relatively
protected from high seas. Strong northwest winds Friday morning will
gradually diminish by late Friday night into Saturday. However,
hazardous seas will continue on the Gulf waters Friday into Saturday
resulting in small craft advisory conditions for high seas. Winds
will shift to south or southwest Friday night and Saturday, as the
circulation center over the Gulf moves north of the area. Improved
marine conditions will prevail through the rest of long term marine
forecast.
