Tropical Storm Bill formed in the Gulf of Mexico late Monday and was expected to make landfall in Texas early Tuesday.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Bill was centered about 160 miles east-southeast of Port O'Connor, Texas, and about 155 miles south-southeast of Galveston, Texas. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the coast of Texas from Baffin Bay to High Island until at least 4 a.m. local time Tuesday. 
Bill had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving northwest at about 12 mph. On the current forecast track, the storm would make landfall along the Texas coast Tuesday morning before moving inland over south-central Texas on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.
The center said some slight strengthening is possible before landfall. Bill is expected to weaken after moving over land.
The storm threat has already closed some schools in Texas, with school districts in Galveston and in southern Houston suburbs canceling classes for Tuesday. Houston school district officials said late Monday they had not made a decision but were monitoring the weather closely.
The eastern half of Texas is under flood watches, with up to 10 inches of rain expected in some areas. The southeastern quarter of the state is under a watch through Wednesday, while the northeastern quarter is under a watch from Tuesday through Thursday.
The NHC forecast calls for the storm to bring 4 to 8 inches of rain to eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma. Another 2 to 4 inches were expected in western Louisiana and Arkansas. Some parts of eastern Texas were expected to see a foot of rainfall.

@luckyone4 Working just fine. This is a normal summer day for us. Because we're not wussies. In Texas we don't call it "Climate Change," we call it "Weather." My lawn has never been greener.
