⚠ Flood Watch · until Mon 12:00 PM

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is 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...From Saturday afternoon 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 2-4 inches will be common across South Texas with high end amounts approaching 5 inches. Isolated amounts exceeding 5 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 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.

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.
