STORM SURGE: Water levels along the Texas coast will gradually subside through this morning. Consult products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office for additional information. WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue near the center of Hanna for the next several hours, and along the Texas and northeastern Mexican coast in the warning area for a few more hours. RAINFALL: Hanna is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches through Monday in south Texas and into the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and northern Tamaulipas. This rain will produce life-threatening flash flooding, rapid rises on small streams, and isolated minor to moderate river flooding. Hanna is also expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain along the upper Texas and Louisiana coasts. SURF: Swells generated by Hanna will continue to affect much of the Texas and Louisiana coasts for another day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible today into this evening across parts of south Texas.
