Hurricane Central is mainly used for non local area threats and future system development potential.

If Laura comes ashore near the TX/LA border, what kinds of bad weather will the north Houston suburbs experience? If any?

Center is, technically, still south of 25°N; slightly south of where it appears on satellite. RECON just missed the center, but looking like another 1-2 MB pressure drop since last pass; 981 or 982 MB.

EDIT: Drop had higher winds, 15 KT, estimated pressure may be 979 or 980 MB.

I am as well, but won’t really feel comfortable until tomorrow morning. Lots can change and the center can jog in any direction. Just praying it keeps east of here. I’m prepared for a direct hit as best as possible but my wife and I are expecting our baby tonight/tomorrow so hoping to not deal with the outcome of this storm afterwards.

Let’s hope the models don’t shift west overnight like they have the last few nights.

Shot in the dark, but guessing folks west of 45 aren't going to see much. Need some rain out here in Cypress, but not Hurricane/TS stuff. NWS has a 60% chance of "showers" for Cypress Wednesday/Thursday morning.

My main Rita memory in College Station was that picture of Loupot’s boarding up on the wrong side.

I remember people were taping their windows and apartment complexes were sending letters to tenants saying based on previous hurricanes BCS will experience hurricane force winds. The grocery stores had empty shelves, gas lines were multiple cars deep, and some store in Navasota was selling water for like $30 a case.

Good ole Rita
haha That was a classic. My wife gave me a hard time for boarding up the house, because it was so dark on the inside without sunlight. Both Rita and Ike produce a tropical storm force winds, but not much rain. Hot as hell!

It seems based on the last 3 recon fixes that Laura’s moving just north of due west. Can’t be great for Houston if that continues

Actually I’m right West of 45 & very near the red zone for winds. Every possible wobble or inch to the west matters a lot to me. I’m just a few streets away from that zone.
