Tropical Storm Fay stalls off Texas coast near Galveston
Tropical Storm Fay with sustained winds near 60 mph lingers in the Gulf of Mexico off the upper Texas coast and may strengthen to a minimal hurricane. A hurricane watch spans 150 miles from Port O’Connor to High Island while a 325 mile tropical storm warning covers Aransas Pass to Intracoastal City. Forecasts predict 4 to 8 inches of rain, up to 15 inches in spots, and slow movement toward west-northwest drift with landfall uncertainty. Local residents brace with sandbags and coastal flooding concerns rise in Crystal Beach near Galveston.
