HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
by tonight or Saturday morning.  Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area by tonight or Saturday morning.

isolated maximum totals of 10 inches through Monday along the Gulf
Coast of the United States from Louisiana to south Texas, and inland

much of the Texas and Louisiana coasts during the next few days.
