Each feed is judged on its own clock. The masthead’s reading is the site’s publishing health, which is a different thing: a publishing delay does not make a freshly read warning stale, and a fresh check does not make an old outlook newly issued.

Briefing details · Where, When, Main hazards

Monday briefing for Texas

Highest anywhere in Texas: Marginal (1 of 4)

This is the outlook, a forecast. Warnings in force here are listed above it and outrank it.

WPC: “Isolated flash floods possible, mainly where heavy rain runs off quickly.” WPC’s definitions

The highest category anywhere in the state, from its outline; not every point in it.

Where

Texas is touched by marginal (highest first). These are the categories anywhere in the state, not a reading for every point in it.

When

Local flash-flood timing is not available from this outlook. WPC’s summary is written for the whole country: the national discussion.

Outlook valid 9 Nov 12:00Z to 10 Nov 12:00Z: the period it covers, not when storms arrive. This period has not begun.

Main hazards

Flash flooding: Marginal, at least a 5% chance within 40 km (25 mi) of a point. Isolated flash floods possible, mainly where heavy rain runs off quickly.

Prepare

There is no safe place outside when thunderstorms are in the area. … When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors. NWS
Do NOT drive into flooded roadways or around a barricade; Turn Around, Don't Drown! NWS

In the National Weather Service’s words, from weather.gov.

Rain and rivers

Expected rain: 3 in or more at its highest in Texas, in WPC’s forecast for the 24 hours 9 Nov 00:00Z to 10 Nov 00:00Z. An amount for the area its contour covers, not a total for any one street.
Rain that fell: 8 to 10 in at its highest in Texas, in the 24 hours to 18:00Z, by MRMS’s radar estimate over a grid about 5 km across: a measurement of the past, not corrected to rain gauges.
Rivers: 2 gauges in flood in Texas, by NWS’s lists read 18:55Z. Moderate flooding Oso Creek at Corpus Christi, TX. Not flooding now: observed below action stage (where officials start to act), or not reporting. Listed for its forecast. Forecast issued 17:41Z · highest 22.3 ft at 10 Nov 04:00Z: moderate flooding. And 1 more. A gauge measures its river at that spot, not whether a road or a neighbourhood floods.

Three sources, each its own window. None is a chance of flash flooding, which is WPC’s outlook above; a flash flood is a warning’s. Gauges in the Live tracker

Official discussion

WPC’s discussion held was issued 16:05Z, and the map 08:10Z: they are different issuances, so the text is not shown with this map until the matching one is read.

WPC’s outlook page

Forecast details

The chance that rainfall exceeds flash flood guidance within 40 km (25 miles) of a point during the valid period, as WPC defines its categories. Marginal is at least 5%, Slight 15%, Moderate 40% and High 70%. WPC’s categories are separate from SPC’s severe-storm categories, and an outlook category is not a warning: a Flash Flood Warning means flooding is happening or imminent. WPC’s definitions.

River flooding

2 gauges in flood in Texas, observed or forecast.

Moderate flooding Oso Creek at Corpus Christi, TX (forecast)
Minor flooding Copano Bay, TX (observed)

A gauge measures its river at that spot; it does not say whether a particular road or neighbourhood floods. Flash flooding is in the warnings.
