Arthur is \nmoving toward the northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h), and an increase in \nforward speed is expected today. On the forecast track, the low \npressure area should move northeastward along the Texas coast today \nand then move inland over southwestern Louisiana by tonight.\n \nSurface observations and data from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane \nHunters indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near \n40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is \nexpected before the center moves over land. Weakening is anticipated \nonce the low moves inland, and it could dissipate by tonight or \nearly Thursday. \n \nTropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km) \nfrom the center. NOAA buoy 42035 east of Galveston recently reported \na sustained wind of 38 mph (61 km/h) and a gust of 43 mph (69 km/h). \nThe Scholes International Airport (KGLS) in Galveston recently \nreported a wind gust of 48 mph (78 km/h). \n \nThe minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 1001 \nmb (29.56 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Tropical Storm Arthur can be found in the Tropical\nCyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO header\nWTNT41 KNHC.\n \nRAINFALL: Tropical Storm Arthur is expected to produce rainfall\ntotals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher totals near 20\ninches, through early Friday from the Mid and Upper Texas coast\neast-northeast into southern and central portions of Louisiana,\nMississippi, and Alabama, along with western portions of Georgia and\nthe Florida Panhandle. This could generate dangerous to\nlife-threatening flash flooding.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with\nTropical Storm Arthur, please see the National Weather Service Storm\nTotal Rainfall Graphic available at\nhurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk\ngraphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ero.\n \nFor a list of rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated\nwith Tropical Storm Arthur, see the companion storm summary at\nWBCSCCNS1 with the WMO header ACUS44 KWBC or at the following link:\nwww.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html.\n \nWIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area \ntoday. Tropical storm force winds, especially in gusts, are possible \nwithin the watch area today.\n \nSTORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the\ntide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by\nrising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could\nreach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated\nareas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...\n \nPort Bolivar, TX to Morgan City, LA...2-4 ft\n \nThe deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to\nthe east of the landfall location, where the surge will be\naccompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding\ndepends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,\nand can vary greatly over short distances. For information\nspecific to your area, please see products issued by your local\nNational Weather Service forecast office.\n \nFor a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,\nplease see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,\navailable at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?peakSurge.\n \nSURF:  Swells generated by Arthur are likely to cause \nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the \nnorthwestern Gulf Coast for the next couple of days. Please consult \nproducts from your local weather office.\n \nA depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found\nat: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ripCurrents\n \nTORNADO: A couple of tornadoes are possible through Thursday from\nthe Upper Texas Coast into southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,\nand the western Florida Panhandle.\n \n \nNEXT ADVISORY\n-------------\nNext intermediate advisory at 100 PM CDT.\nNext complete advisory at 400 PM CDT.\n \n"}
