The NOAA Storm Prediction Center has identified central and southern Texas, including the coastal regions, as being at risk for severe storms and flash floods on Saturday. Hazardous storms that can generate large hail, destructive winds, and localized flooding are advancing through one of the most densely populated coastal areas in the country. Residents from Corpus Christi to Galveston are being warned. Meteorologists indicate that storms might escalate quickly due to the warm moisture from the Gulf. Citizens are advised to have several ways to receive emergency notifications and to steer clear of low-lying areas.
