The storm poses significant risks to communities across Texas, including potential flash flooding, tornadoes, and damage from hurricane-force winds and large hail. Heavy rainfall could overwhelm drainage systems, particularly in areas expecting up to 10 inches of precipitation. Motorists face heightened danger from flooded roadways, and power outages may occur as the storm progresses. Coastal regions in South and Southeast Texas are expected to see an increased threat as the system moves eastward. Emergency response teams are on standby to address life-threatening situations, including urban search-and-rescue operations and floodwater rescues.
