 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Jason Walker. Forecasters say the outer bounds of Barrel are approaching the Texas coast. The weather should be, quote, going downhill from there. We're expecting a dangerous storm surge, 4 to 6 feet above ground as possible from Mesquite Bay, Texas to San Luis Pass, including Matagorda Bay. We're also expecting very heavy rainfall, 5 to 10 inches of rain with localized amounts to 15 inches.
