For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. This is a lifethreatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.
A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Baffin Bay to Port Aransas including Baffin Bay, Corpus Christi Bay...46 ft
Port Mansfield to Baffin Bay...24 ft
Port Aransas to Port O'Connor including Aransas Bay...24 ft
Mouth of the Rio Grande to Port Mansfield...13 ft
North of Port O'Connor to High Island including Galveston Bay...12 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the landfall location. Surgerelated flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
WIND: Hurricane conditions will continue in portions of the hurricane warning area for a few more hours. Tropical storm conditions are occuring in portions of the tropical storm warning area and will spread farther inland overnight and Sunday.
RAINFALL: Hanna is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches through Monday in south Texas and into the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and northern Tamaulipas. This rain will produce lifethreatening flash flooding, rapid rises on small streams, and isolated minor to moderate river flooding.
Hanna is also expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain along the upper Texas and Louisiana coasts.
SURF: Swells generated by Hanna will continue to affect much of the Texas and Louisiana coasts for another day or so. These swells are likely to cause lifethreatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible overnight over parts of the lower to middle Texas coastal plain.

At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Hanna was located near latitude 26.6 North, longitude 98.0 West. Hanna is moving toward the westsouthwest near 9 mph (15 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Hanna should continue to move farther inland over southern Texas tonight and move into northeastern Mexico on Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid weakening is expected as Hanna moves farther inland.
Hurricaneforce winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km), mainly to the east of the center and tropicalstormforce winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).

Hanna made landfall around 2200 UTC over Padre Island, Texas, and then made a second landfall a little more than an hour later in eastern Kenedy County, Texas. The estimated intensity was 80 kt for both of those landfalls. Since then, Hanna has been moving inland over southern Texas and has weakened. The initial intensity is lowered to 65 kt for this advisory, based on Doppler radar velocity data and surface observations. Even though the hurricane has weakened some, it still has an impressive appearance in radar images with an eye, eyewall, and rainbands evident.
The storm is moving west-southwestward at 8 kt, steered by a mid-level ridge situated to its north over the central United States. This motion should continue, taking Hanna across extreme southern Texas overnight and across northeastern Mexico on Sunday. The new NHC track forecast is just a little south of the previous one, trending toward the latest consensus models.
Now that Hanna is inland, rapid weakening is forecast. Hanna should fall below hurricane strength in the next few hours and weaken to a tropical depression by late Sunday. Hanna is forecast to dissipate over the rugged terrain of Mexico on Monday. Key Messages
