Winds:
Will not go much higher than 40-45mph across the coastal waters although stronger winds are possible in heavy thunderstorms and feeder bands. Worst of the weather will likely be removed to the east side of the center of circulation or across the SE TX waters into SW LA. Tropical storm force winds are possible if not likely across much of the coastal waters late Monday into Tuesday and across the coastal beaches and inland bays early Tuesday. Inland winds of 25-35mph can be expected.



I suspected as much, srainhoutex. Thank you. 25-35 mph winds generally are not damaging.

Until it's over land...one never knows. No guarantee with tropical systems...and I don't like the last few frames of radar...

dumb question but I'll ask it anyway....

Earlier today, forecasters said that there was very little chance of the disturbance turning into a hurricane. Has they changed their minds about that now?

Paul, in short: no. At this time the expectation is for a tropical storm. Key phrase "at this time."

Glad to hear it. One thing I don't get, though, is why people stand on the beach to watch things like this come in. Why?

Ok.
This is a pretty good look at what is going on "satellite wise."

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/gmex/mflash-ir4.html
I see what looks like the main circulation at about 22.5 & 92.5.
But I also see a spin at about 23.5 & 88.

0z models have it going more south to Corpus now. Thoughts? A center reformation could take place at anytime to change things though.

I can almost see this with that center more to the West.
That being said, I can't believe this board isn't going nuts.

Maybe we won't get rained on as hard, eh?

That trend certainly caught my attention as south central Texas would be more in the crosshairs. I think until a true LLC forms it will be tough to pin down an exact track. Regardless southeast Texas will be in the "splash zone" either way.

I still believe that a Corpus area "landfall," would give Houston plenty of rain.

Let's hope mother nature doesn't overdo it again.

Still think the main area of rotation that most are noticing are responsible with the ULL. Eventually a MLC and LLC could develop over that region but right now I think the greatest area of organization is further east around 88 degrees. This will be key though for the track. Also most of the reliable models still haven't initialized yet so lets see what the globals show first.

Andrew, I mentioned this earlier.

"But I also see a spin at about 23.5 & 88."

Is this about where you're talking about?
