Rain band stalled literally 5 miles from the house as predicted.

At least it's cloudy and coolish. I'm not running the ***** sprinklers!

It sure looks like Beta (I still don’t know whether to say he or she lol) has stalled. The radar app I use (MyRadar) has the circulation sitting in the same spot since around noon. Possibly a tad further offshore but it’s hard to tell since I’ve looked at it about 500 times today

Beta is still creeping and almost onshore. Try not to use radar and use visible.

Could be another pulse about to go off just to the ne of the center, right over Sargent.

The windmap is another good marker. Beta is still offshore.

Drifting NW again towards Matagorda - the town now. CoC maybe 10-15 miles offshore.

First recon fix is generally just offshore of Matagorda Bay. Obs to the e support 40 kts but that's being generous.

Second fix in a few.

Better at fighting off the dry air than last night. So far.

South of Palacios? Just off the barrier island?

Not much huffing and puffing left. 40 mph might be more accurate!
