00:00It's going to gradually pull over the gulf and it will be producing the risk for some flooding rain here
00:06in some of these areas.
00:08So that's the main concern that we'll be watching here.
00:11And as we switch back over to the visible satellite, you can see how things look when it comes to
00:16what your eyes would see if you were to look down from the edge of outer space.
00:19And there's some decent lightning here into parts of northeast Mexico, into south Texas.
00:23Back over to the radar, we're going to turn the reports on.
00:26We've seen a lot of reports of flooding today.
00:28Many, many reports of flooding.
00:30Some of these in the Austin area, Jollyville and Travis County, roads impassable earlier today due to flooding.
00:36New brothels there between Austin and San Antonio, street flooding into Bexar County and San Antonio itself, stranded cars.
00:42This was one report of two stranded vehicles, but there were numerous stranded vehicles in other areas.
00:48And then into the afternoon, we got into trouble in this report around midday here into Cato Parish.
00:52Water rescues there into Florian.
00:55We had water over the roads.
00:56Alexandria, more recently, 358 central time at Rapids Parish.
01:01We have some issues there with minor street flooding reported as well.
01:04And there you can see it's wet in Vicksburg, Mississippi right now with that rain pooling northward.
01:09This is drought relief, though, that we need.
01:11This is the most beneficial rain in the batch here into south Georgia, southern parts of Alabama, and some parts
01:16of Florida as well.
01:18Let's take a look at the future of this whole setup here.
01:21Tuesday, more downpours, heavy rain moving through parts of Texas.
01:25Low pressure begins to drift.
01:27And this is when it just wobbles far enough northeast to get into an area where it begins to organize
01:33into a tropical rainstorm over the Gulf, not far from Galveston.
01:36And with that counterclockwise flow, that draws the moisture up into the Gulf Coast states.
01:42So here is our new tropical eye path.
01:45We have a map out for this.
01:46We expect this tropical wind and rainstorm to form around 8 p.m. Tuesday, very close to the area of
01:53South Padre Island.
01:54It's going to drift northeast as a tropical rain and windstorm.
01:59Mainly tropical rainfalls are our main concern, moving near the Matagorda Bay and into Galveston Bay Wednesday night.
02:06And then Thursday, it begins to pull north.
02:08It's hugging the coast.
02:09But with that counterclockwise flow, the east side of the storm track is going to be in business.
02:14That's the area where that strong feed of moisture comes in with downpours, heavy rain.
02:20And here it is.
02:21Now, this version of future radar keeps the center of circulation a little farther west.
02:25Coming up in the forecast feed, we're going to take a look at this with some other help of other
02:30computer models
02:30that generally, in some cases, favor a solution a little farther east that will bring even more heavy rain into
02:36more of Louisiana.
02:38But overall, we're in the midst of a 4- to 8-inch rain event.
02:41This is through Tuesday night.
02:42But keep in mind, this cuts off Tuesday night.
02:45We've got a new map that begins late Tuesday night through the rest of the week.
02:47I'll show you that in a few seconds.
02:49So, more heavy rain for Wednesday.
02:51This is beyond the time frame of that previous map.
02:54And look at the contrast here.
02:5685 in Houston, 108 in Odessa.
02:58Big-time heat to the west, but drenching downpours in Houston.
03:02Rain into Shreveport.
03:03And Thursday, the rain continues here in many areas with some flood potential.
03:08So, here is a graphic looking at Wednesday through Friday.
03:11Another 8- to 12 inches of rain on top of the previous map.
03:14Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lake Charles, all the way up into southwest Mississippi.
03:20That spells serious trouble there with flooding.
