Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 5:38 am CDT on July 24, 2008

... Flood Watch remains in effect through this afternoon...

The Flood Watch continues for

* a portion of south Texas... including the following areas...
Duval... Jim Wells... Kleberg... Nueces and San Patricio.

* Through this afternoon

* Tropical Storm Dolly will move into the western portions of
south Texas this morning and this afternoon. Dolly will then
push into Mexico tonight. An additional 2 to 4 inches with
locally higher amounts in excess of 6 inches will be possible.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where
water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too high to allow
your car to cross safely. Turn around and do not drown. Vehicles
caught in rising waters should be abandoned quickly. Move to
higher ground.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Inland Tropical Wind Warning Statement as of 7:30 am CDT on July 24, 2008

... Tropical Storm Wind Warning remains in effect until 10 am CDT
this morning...

... New information...

Tropical Storm Dolly is expected to continue to weaken as it
moves west-northwest into the Rio Grande plains today.

... Areas affected...

This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in...
Webb... Duval... and Jim Wells counties.

... Watches/warnings...

Tropical Storm Wind Warning in effect until 10 am CDT this
morning.

A Tornado Watch is in effect through this afternoon until 6 PM
CDT.

Flood Watch in effect through late Thursday night.

... Storm information...

At 7 am CDT... the center of Tropical Storm Dolly was located near
latitude 27.2 north... longitude 98.9 west... 50 miles east-southeast
of Laredo. Movement is toward the west-northwest near 7 mph.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to around 50 mph. A
continued motion toward the west-northwest is expected during the
next day or so.

... Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Motorists should exercise extreme caution today as heavy rainfall
from the outer bands of Dolly may cause some roads to flood today.
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown. In
addition... tropical storm force wind gusts will make driving
difficult for high profile vehicles.

... Winds...

Winds will increase into the 25 to 35 mph range with gusts as
high as 45 mph with rain bands. Tropical storm force gusts will
be intermittent through the evening hours.

... Inland flooding...

As Dolly progresses further into the Rio Grande plains... the
potential for very heavy rainfall will increase today through
this evening. Rainfall amounts today through tonight will average
between 4 and 8 inches... with the highest amounts over southern
potions of Webb... Duval and Jim Wells counties. Rainfall rates of
two or more inches per hour can be expected at times. Isolated
amounts 10 to 15 inches also cannot be ruled out. As a
result... life threatening flash flooding will be possible over
flood prone areas and over locations receiving these high rainfall
rates.

... Tornadoes...

Isolated tornadoes will be possible through this morning as rain
bands from Dolly affect the area.

... Next update...

The next statement will be issued around 11 am CDT.

Forecast as of 9:08 am CDT on July 24, 2008
