This is a perfect example of the importance of having working smoke detectors in your home. This is something the Timber Lakes Fire Department can help you with. If you are in need of assistance with checking or obtaining and installing smoke detectors please let us know. You can send us a message on Facebook or call the fire station and someone will be able to answer your questions.

Over the weekend, the value of working smoke detectors was proven once again. At approximately 1:15 in the morning, as a family slept, the daughter was awoken by the sounding of a working smoke detector to discover the entire front porch area of the home was on fire. Fortunately, she was able to alert her Mom and Dad, and all three were able to exit the home and escape the fire, along with the family dog. Without the early warning from the smoke detector, the outcome may have been very different, and a potential tragedy was avoided.
The Magnolia Fire Department, along with the Needham and Woodlands Fire Departments, controlled the fire upon arrival. Please check your smoke detectors and contact the Magnolia Fire Department at 281-356-3288 if you need assistance in obtaining a working smoke detector.

4PM Update.

...BETA MOVING A LITTLE FASTER TOWARD THE CENTRAL TEXAS COAST...
...OUTER RAINBANDS SPREADING FARTHER INLAND OVER THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN...

*** A Storm Surge Warning is in effect from Port Aransas, Texas to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana, including Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, Matagorda Bay,
Galveston Bay, Sabine Lake, and Lake Calcasieu.
*** A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from Port Aransas Texas to Morgan City Louisiana.
*** A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect from Baffin Bay to Port Aransas Texas.

Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the tropical storm warning area along the southwestern Louisiana coast and will spread westward to the warning areas in Texas tonight through early Monday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area along the south Texas coast on Monday.

A tornado or two could occur Monday near the middle-to-upper Texas coast or the southwestern Louisiana coast.

Through Thursday, Beta is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches with isolated totals of 15 inches from the middle Texas coast to southern Louisiana. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches expected northward into the ArkLaTex region and east into the Lower Mississippi Valley. Flash and urban flooding is likely, as well as minor to isolated moderate river flooding. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office www.weather.gov

At 4 p.m. CDT, the center of Tropical Storm Beta was located about 155 miles (250 km) east-southeast of Port O'Connor, Texas. Beta is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this general motion is forecast to continue for the next day or so. A decrease in forward speed and a sharp turn to the north and northeast is expected Monday night and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Beta will continue to move toward the central coast of Texas and will likely move inland by Monday night, and remain close to the coast of southeastern Texas on Tuesday.

Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km) from the center. Little change in strength is forecast to occur during the next couple of days before Beta reaches the Texas coast. Weakening is anticipated once Beta moves inland.

The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the 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...
- San Luis Pass, TX to Sabine Pass, TX including Galveston Bay...3-5 ft
- Port Aransas, TX to San Luis Pass, TX including Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, & Matagorda Bay…2-4 ft
- Sabine Pass, TX to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, LA including Sabine
- Lake and Calcasieu Lake…2-4 ft
- Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, LA to Ocean Springs, MS including
- Vermilion Bay, Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and Lake
Maurepas...1-3 ft
- Baffin Bay, TX to Port Aransas, TX including Corpus Christi Bay and - Baffin Bay... 1-3 ft
Mouth of the Rio Grande to Baffin Bay, TX...1-2 ft

The next complete advisory will be issued by NHC at 10 p.m. CDT with an intermediate advisory at 7 p.m. CDT - www.hurricanes.gov

Mark Keough County Judge

Tropical Strom Beta update: Just wrapped up our morning weather brief from the National Weather Service. We should start to see some outer rain bands making their way onshore today increasing our rain chances. Tomorrow the chance for gusty winds and additional rain increases.

The forecast track has not shifted overnight. The rain accumulation forecast has remained the same which calls for Montgomery County to receive between 5-7 inches over the next 3 days. Higher accumulations could still be possible if rain bands begin to train over any portion of our area.

Montgomery County remains under a flash flood watch through Tuesday at 7 pm.

Please keep monitoring the weather forecast today and through the first half of this week.

Our office and the Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will continue to monitor the developments and bring updates as they come in.

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm
warning area by Sunday night. Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area by late Monday or Monday night.Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area along the southwestern Louisiana coast as early astonight, and are possible within the tropical storm watch area along the south Texas coast Sunday night or Monday.

At 4 p.m. CDT, the center of Tropical Storm Beta was located about 320 miles (510 km) east-southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas. Beta has been nearly stationary for the past several hours. A westward drift is expected tonight, followed by a slow motion toward the west-northwest that should continue through late Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Beta will slowly approach the Texas coast Sunday and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km) from the center, mainly in the northern semicircle. A ship near the center of Beta recently reported winds of 54 mph (87 km/h). Slow strengthening is expected during the next couple of days, and Beta could be near hurricane strength as it approaches the Texas coast.

The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the 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...
- Baffin Bay, TX to Cameron, LA including Baffin Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, Matagorda Bay, Galveston Bay, Sabine Lake, Calcasieu Lake, San Antonio Bay...2-4 ft

Beta has the potential to produce a long duration rainfall event along the western Gulf Coast. Today through Tuesday, Beta is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches with isolated totals of 20 inches beginning Saturday across southern Louisiana and spreading into coastal Texas on Sunday. Flash and urban flooding is likely as well as minor river flooding. Additional heavy rainfall amounts across the western Gulf Coast are possible through late week as Beta is expected to move slowly near the Texas coast.
