 But up to three feet of a storm surge can advance as far south as the south Texas coast and as far east as western Louisiana. Damaging wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour will be possible near the storm center first thing this morning. But it will lose wind intensity quickly as it moves northward today and tonight. And as Barrow continues northward in east Texas, significant rain of 8 to 12 inches will fall, including in the city of Houston.
