Hanna Intensifies Into Hurricane Ahead of Texas Landfall Today; Conditions Worsening in South Texas

[Disir]

Conditions will gradually go downhill through Saturday evening in South Texas.

Increasingly heavier rain will arrive along parts of the Texas coast into Saturday afternoon and continue inland Saturday evening as the center moves ashore.

Locally heavy rain will spread well inland in South Texas into parts of northeast Mexico. This locally heavy rain could persist into Sunday, perhaps Monday, particularly in northeast Mexico.

Rainfall totals of over 6 inches are possible in these areas, with locally higher amounts where bands of rain stall for a period of a few hours. A few communities could receive up to 18 inches of rainfall. This could lead to dangerous flash flooding and some river flooding, particularly in the mountainous terrain of Mexico's Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and northern Tamaulipas states.

We've gotten a little rain in the Houston area.
Based on my scientific swimming pool fill up calculation we've had about an inch so far.
Dont expect much from this storm even though we're on the dirty side.

Tropical conditions and water temperature and Atlantic set up are nearly as favorable for development as Katrina year,
I think the east coast is dealing with a hit in 7-10 days
