HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Bill is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 4 to 8 inches over eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma and 3 to 6 inches over western Arkansas and southern Missouri. Isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches are possible in Texas and Oklahoma. These rains may produce life-threatening flash floods. WIND: Wind gusts to tropical storm force winds are occurring in rainbands to the east of the center. These gusts should subside today. STORM SURGE: The combination of a storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters. The water could reach the following heights above ground if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Upper Texas and Western Louisiana coasts...1 to 2 feet The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast to the southeast of the center. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur over parts of east-central Texas through this morning. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 400 AM CDT. $$ Forecaster Beven
