"Tropical Depression Bill will drift across Texas with torrential rainfall and renewed concerns for major flooding before moving toward the Midwest late this week. The eye of Bill moved over Matagorda Island, Texas, during Tuesday midday as a tropical storm. Bill will slowly track northward over the state and into southern Oklahoma on Thursday morning.

Motorists should avoid low-lying coastal roads as these will be prone to taking on water through Wednesday, until the storm moves far enough inland.
Small craft operators should keep their vessels within the protection of coastal waters through Wednesday.

Impacts to Continue Inland
Typically tropical systems weaken rapidly when making landfall due to dry air choking off the moisture source needed to maintain intensity. However, the recent heavy rain and waterlogged landscape will cause this storm to weaken slowly.
"While the best chance for strong winds will be at the coast, strong wind gusts could continue inland quite a ways due to the continued intensity of the storm," AccuWeather Meteorologist Evan Duffy said.
This storm will continue to funnel copious amounts of moisture into a zone that had torrential rainfall in May. Flooding from that rainfall continues along some of the rivers in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma."
