DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Five was
located near latitude 28.2 North, longitude 91.5 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h).
A west-northwestward to northwestward motion is forecast during the
next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of the system
is predicted to reach the northwestern Gulf Coast within the warning
area on Tuesday and move inland over southeast Texas on Tuesday
night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected, and the depression is likely to become a
tropical storm this evening.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1011 mb (29.86 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Depression Five can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO
header WTNT45 KNHC.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach the coast
within the warning area by Tuesday morning, making outside
preparations difficult or dangerous.

STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and 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...

High Island, TX to Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA...2-4 ft
Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA to Morgan City, LA...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the right of the center. Surge-related 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.

For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?peakSurge.

RAINFALL: Tropical Depression Five is expected to produce rainfall
totals of 3 to 6 inches with maximum totals of 9 inches for parts of
the Upper Texas Coast inland through east-central Texas, with
potential for 2 to 3 inches in far Southwest Louisiana. This
rainfall is likely to produce flash flooding, especially in
low-lying and urban areas. River flooding may also be possible.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with TD
Five, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf and
the Flash Flood Risk graphic at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?ero.
