Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across
Lavaca and Fayette counties. Potential impacts in this area include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
- A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
- Scattered power and communications outages.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.

Small streams, creeks, canals, usually dry creek beds, and
ditches may become swollen and overflow in spots.
- Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually
vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water
occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds become
near-full and begin to overflow. A few low water crossings
could become flooded and turn deadly if attempting to pass
through. Some brief road and bridge closures.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:

- About 370 miles south-southeast of Hallettsville TX or about
360 miles southeast of Cuero TX
- 24.7N 94.0W
- Storm Intensity 60 mph
- Movement Northwest or 310 degrees at 13 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Tropical Storm Beryl is moving northwest through the Gulf of Mexico
and is expected to strengthen into a category one hurricane on Sunday.
Beryl is expected to make landfall on the middle Texas coast early
Monday morning with the potential for Tropical Storm force winds
pushing inland across Lavaca and DeWitt Counties on Monday. A Tropical
Storm Warning is in effect for those counties. In addition heavy
rainfall is possible across the eastern areas of South Central Texas
with 5 to 10 inches of rain possible Monday through Tuesday.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across far eastern areas of South Central Texas.
Potential impacts include:
- Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, usually dry
creek beds, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In hilly
areas, destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while
increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood
control systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with
underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous.
Many low water crossings could become flooded and turn deadly
if attempting to pass through. Many road and bridge closures
with some weakened or washed out.
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited
to significant impacts across far eastern areas of South Central
Texas.
* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts
across DeWitt and Lavaca Counties. Potential impacts in this area
include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile
homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight
objects become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater
numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several
fences and roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access
routes impassable.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.
* TORNADOES:
Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
across far eastern areas of South Central Texas. Potential impacts
include:
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and boats pulled
from moorings.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the instructions of local officials.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to complete all preparations to protect life and
property in accordance with your emergency plan. Ensure you are in a
safe location before the onset of strong winds or possible flooding.
Keep cell phones well charged. Cell phone chargers for automobiles

Tropical Storm Nicholas Local Statement Advisory Number 3
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX AL142021
1010 PM CDT Sun Sep 12 2021
This product covers South Central Texas
**Tropical Storm Watch in Effect**
NEW INFORMATION
---------------
* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- None
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for De Witt, Fayette,
Gonzales, Karnes, and Lavaca
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 520 miles south of La Grange TX or about 470 miles
south-southeast of Cuero TX
- 22.5N 95.5W
- Storm Intensity 40 mph
- Movement North or 360 degrees at 2 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Tropical Storm Nicholas will move through the western Gulf of Mexico
tonight and Monday. The storm is expected to move inland over the
middle or upper Texas coast Tuesday morning. There is a potential for
tropical storm force winds over Karnes, DeWitt, Lavaca, Gonzales, and
Fayette Counties, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. Gusts to
tropical storm force are also possible around the periphery of this
area. Tropical storm force winds are most likely to arrive as early as
Monday night and continue through the day Tuesday. In addition, locally
heavy rainfall could lead to flooding in some areas Monday through
Tuesday. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are forecast, with locally
higher amounts possible.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant
impacts across the Coastal Plains. Potential impacts include:
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter
currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals,
usually dry creek beds, and ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid
inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions
become hazardous. Some low water crossings could become flooded
and turn deadly if attempting to pass through. Some road and
bridge closures.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.
* WIND:
Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the
Coastal Plains. Potential impacts in this area include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
- A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
- Scattered power and communications outages.
Elsewhere across South Central Texas, little to no impact is
anticipated.
* TORNADOES:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across South
Central Texas.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
WATCH/WARNING PHASE - No mandatory evacuations are in effect. Follow
the instructions of local officials.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies
kit and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your
home or business.
When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the
exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging
wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the
center of the storm.
