“At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Arthur was located near latitude 29.4 North, longitude 94.9 West. Arthur is moving erratically toward the northeast near 8 mph. A northeastward to north-northeastward motion should continue through tonight. On the forecast track, the center of Arthur should move farther inland over southeastern Texas tonight.”
“Maximum sustained winds are now near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is expected as the center of Arthur moves farther inland, and it could dissipate later tonight or early Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km) mainly to the southeast of the center. An oil rig well to the southeast of the center recently reported sustained winds of 38 mph (61 km/h) at an elevation of 135 ft (41 m). The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches). Tropical Storm Arthur is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher totals near 20 inches, through early Friday from the Mid and Upper Texas coast east-northeast into southern and central portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, along with western portions of Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. This could generate dangerous to life-threatening flash flooding,” says the National Hurricane Center in advisory statement on the damn early June storm. Fucking 20 inches of rain sounds not good.
