SUN 10pm - Nicholas remains a 40 mph tropical storm, moving slowly north at 2 mph in the Western Gulf of Mexico. 1/5
There is a notable east shift in the 10PM forecast cone, which is now just to the east of Corpus Christi. Nicholas is forecast to become a 65mph tropical storm (75 mph gusts) en-route to the Middle Texas Gulf Coast TUE morning. Nicholas slows and weakens over SE TX WED/THU. 2/5
Still looking at between 3-5" in coastal areas of the Coastal Bend with totals dropping the farther inland you go.
3/5
I lowered/shifted east the max wind speed possibilities in the Coastal Bend, given the eastward shift in the forecast cone tonight. Still, tropical storm force conditions expected in parts of the Coastal Bend.
4/5
Storm surge forecast calling for 2-4 ft. of surge on area beaches, Monday. That'll go go down on Tuesday as the center of Nicholas moves north of the area. 5/5
