The gradient between a flood and crickets will be crazy.

It is upgraded to Tropical Storm Imeldaccbluewater wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:20 pm Why not just upgrade straight to T.S.? Regardless, impacts are the same.
And it appears to be making landfall now near Freeport.
His point was it was already a TS by the time they ‘officially’ upgraded it to a TD. They could have just skipped the TD designation altogether.davidiowx wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:23 pmIt is upgraded to Tropical Storm Imeldaccbluewater wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:20 pm Why not just upgrade straight to T.S.?

Is it me or once this makes land fall it doesnt look like a whole lot of rain is out in the gulf..maybe its just my radar that i use on my phone
Any chance this thing sits in one spot for days? It hardly had any movement to begin with..

Radar cannot pick up rain that far out into the Gulf. There is a ton of rain out there.Kingwood36 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:27 pm Is it me or once this makes land fall it doesnt look like a whole lot of rain is out in the gulf..maybe its just my radar that i use on my phone
In a way this reminds me a bit of Allison, in that it developed quickly at the coast, moved inland within a few hours of being named and was a slow moving rain maker. I'm not saying we are looking at Allison type impacts, but the way it has developed thus far reminds me of that storm's development.
The core is really wrapping up as it makes landfall I think Imelda will be slow to weaken and will probably maintain its organization well inland.

This is a multi day event. Remember Allison? This is not one to take lightly. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

NNW movement? Heck of a dry slot between the core and those bands making there way towards Beaumont.
