Minor coastal flooding possible this week, as Tropical Storm Arlene is likely to develop in the Gulf of Mexico. The European model forecasts sustained northeast winds along the South Texas Coast....with maximum wind speeds forecast for late Tuesday. If this scenario holds, storm surge levels of 2-3 feet above normal astronomical tides are possible, which could lead to minor coastal flooding.
