a possibility for an additional 1/2 to 1 inches of rainfall due to
Harvey through Tuesday, the flooding concerns have greatly diminished
and isolated and nuisance flooding is now only expected.

these impacts include:

      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 TEXAS, little to no impact is anticipated.
