 A strong storm surge damaging winds and even the risk for a tornado. A storm surge of over six feet will lead to significant inland flooding for the coastal areas mainly just to the north of the storm center 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.
