 It's currently a tropical storm, but it's forecast to regain hurricane status before nearing the coast and making landfall. A hurricane warning has been declared for a large stretch of the state's coastline from near Corpus Christi to an area south of Houston. National Hurricane Center Specialist Eric Blake says as of yesterday, the weather should be going downhill from there. We're expecting a dangerous storm surge four to six feet above ground as possible from Mesquite Bay, Texas to San Luis Pass, including Matagorda Bay.
