TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED

NEW INFORMATION

CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- All watches and warnings have been canceled
CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- None
STORM INFORMATION:
- About 260 miles south of South Padre Island TX or about 290
  miles south of Port Mansfield TX

SITUATION OVERVIEW

As of 4 AM CDT, Tropical Storm Alberto was last moving west-
southwest at 9 mph close to the eastern coast of Mexico. Alberto still
has winds of 50 mph and a minimum central pressure of 993 mb. Upon
landfall, Alberto is expected to weaken, and will likely dissipate over
Mexico today or tonight. Tropical Storm Warnings are being
discontinued for all of Kenedy, Willacy and Cameron counties.

Even with Alberto making landfall, some hazards are still expected to
linger through today and possibly into tomorrow. Beach and marine
conditions are expected to remain hazardous through today and
tomorrow. This includes coastal flooding up to 3 feet, deadly rip
current, high surf, and isolated gusty winds and low visibilities in
isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms. Another 2-4 inches of
rainfall is also possible today.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across The
Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well guarded against
dangerous flood waters having further impacts of significant
potential.
WIND:
Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across
The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.
SURGE:
Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited
impacts across the lower Texas coast. Potential impacts in this area
include:
- Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
  immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
  farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
- Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could
  become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions
  dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
- Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
  in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
- Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few
  small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little
to no impact is anticipated.

TORNADOES:
Additional impacts from tornadoes are still a concern across The Rio
Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Remain well braced against
tornado event having further limited impact potential.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside
be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and
flooded areas.

If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas
leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged
metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.

Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to
those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious
injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to
arrive quickly.

Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your
location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do
not tie up communications systems.

Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their
points of contact.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities
have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear.
Hazards like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads,
continued flooding in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic
lights make travel difficult.

Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate
road hazards.

Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities
give the all clear. Allow time for officials to inspect bridges and
overpasses and to mark washed-out roads.

When entering areas that have been heavily damaged, bring along a
GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on
roads that have been marked closed.

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.

When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed
lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other
leaking flammables.

Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe.
Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can
blow you off the roof.

When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes.
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance.
Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can
be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure
about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience
do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from
open doors and windows.

Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood
waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil
water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.

Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened
trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause
flying debris.

Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which
may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts
and heed any flood watches and warnings.

Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered
with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have
been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover
the road. Turn around, don't drown!

Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider
nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly.
