Tropical Depression 11 Weather Update - 12pm Tropical Update (correction)

Correction: Chambers county is NOT in the tropical storm warning.

UPDATE:

Tropical Depression 11 declared just off the Brazoria coast, approximately 15 miles south-southwest of Freeport. This system will track slowly north-northwest over the next couple days, moving inland later today.

Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect from Sargent to Port Bolivar in case the system strengthens some today. This will include the following coastal zones: coastal Brazoria county, coastal Galveston county (including Galveston island and Bolivar Peninsula), southeast Harris county.

This creates no real changes to forecast weather or impacts, expect locations in the warning could see winds near 35 mph with higher gusts.

Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from 1p today until 1p Wednesday, with heavy rain threat remaining greatest hazard with this system. General 5-10" rainfall is expected along and just east of the track with isolated higher amounts from 10-15".
