⚠ Flood Watch · until Mon 12:00 PM

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of south Texas, including the following areas, Aransas Islands, Bee, Coastal Aransas, Coastal Kleberg, Coastal Nueces, Coastal Refugio, Coastal San Patricio, Duval, Goliad, Inland Kleberg, Inland Nueces, Inland Refugio, Inland San Patricio, Jim Wells, Kleberg Islands, La Salle, Live Oak, McMullen, Nueces Islands and Webb. * WHEN...Through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Widespread forecast rainfall amounts of 2-5 inches will be common across South Texas. Isolated amounts of 7 to 9 inches remains a possibility, especially in the vicinity of training and slow moving storms. While soils will be able to absorb most of this moisture, the higher rainfall rates, slow storm motion, and training can quickly lead to localized, urban flooding and in locations with poor drainage. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

⚠ Coastal Flood Advisory · until Mon 3:00 AM

* WHAT...Minor coastal flooding expected. * WHERE...Coastal Aransas, Coastal Kleberg, Coastal Nueces, Coastal San Patricio, Coastal Refugio and Coastal Calhoun Counties. * WHEN...From noon today to 3 AM CST Monday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected.

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.

Reading the calendar: ↑ moonrise and ↓ moonset are local times. Stars are the solunar rating; “c” is the tide coefficient (20–120). Moon overhead and underfoot times are the major feeding periods, and moonrise and moonset are the minor ones; see each day on the tide pages.
