At 4 PM CDT, Potential Tropical Cyclone Four continues to shows signs
of weakening due strong upper-level winds. Probabilities of developing
into a tropical cyclone continue to lower. Tropical Storm conditions
are no longer expected across the lower Texas coast and mid and lower
Rio Grande Valley. Brief isolated to scattered heavy rainfall and gusty
winds, mainly near the coast, remain possible through tonight.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SURGE:
Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited
impacts across South Padre Island and Boca Chica beaches. Potential
impacts in this area include:
    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
      immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
      farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    - Sections of near-shore roads and exposed parking lots could
      become covered with some surge water. Driving conditions
      dangerous in places where surge water covers the road.
    - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
      in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    - Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few
      small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across The Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, little
to no impact is anticipated.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Little to no flooding impacts are anticipated at this time across The
Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.

Grande Valley and Deep South Texas.
