The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on tropical storm Hermine. The Hurricane Center forecasts tropical storm Hermine to make landfall along the northeast Mexican coastline shortly after midnight tonight.
Hermine is forecast to track northwest towards west central Texas as a tropical depression. It should impact the area Tuesday night, Wednesday, and Wednesday night. The outer rain bands of this depression could impact the northwest Hill Country as early as Tuesday afternoon and evening. Remember that isolated tornadoes can form in the outer bands of these systems with little or no warning.
Tropical depressions are also known for producing concentrated flooding rainfall at night. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the track of Hermine as it moves inland over the next few days since there still is some uncertainty with the future track and speed of Hermine.
Based on the latest forecast track, widespread 2 to 4 inches with isolated 4 to 8 inches of rainfall are possible across west central Texas Tuesday night into Wednesday night. The chance for rain in Brown County on Tuesday and Tuesday night is 80%.
