Storms forecast to develop and become mostly scattered in coverage through the day today. Some of the storms potentially strong. Main impacts from storms will be brief strong wind gusts, frequent lightning and locally heavy rain that may cause instances of nuisance type flooding in some areas that experience poor drainage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday An increase in rip current hazards looks to set up Friday and into the weekend, as a potential tropical system lifts up across the western Gulf late in the week, bringing long period swell into the surf zone. Elevated rip current hazards may linger into the first half of next week. There is at least some potential for a heavy rain and or severe weather event to occur over the forecast area during the Monday into Tuesday timeframe. This will be highly dependent on eventual placement of a weak frontal boundary near the area and how the surface low from Harvey tracks. Stay tuned. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of SkyWarn Severe Storm Spotter networks is not expected through Tuesday.

A potential tropical system, to lift northwest over the western Gulf at the close of the week, brings an increase in long period swell up across the coastal waters Friday and into the weekend. Increased swell may continue into the first of next week, depending on eventual track and strength of western Gulf system.
