Wind speed does not always correlate with rain. Look at Ismelda and Allison.Ounce wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 12:22 pmWell said.txsnowmaker wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 11:53 amFolks really need to be careful with comparisons to catastrophes like Harvey. Harvey wreaked tremendous destruction to both livelihoods and lives. If this forum becomes little more than a place for hyperbolic prognostications it will do no one any good, including those who are still scarred from storms like Harvey and Imelda. People need to take a cue from our local tv mets and relay perspectives and information in a thoughtful, calm, and measured manner.
Harvey was a category 4 when landed at Rockport. Soooo much of a stretch to claim this is a Harvey.

I was going to say the same thing. Catagory of a tropical system does not have to suggest anything other than wind speed. Rainfall from even just low pressure or a depression can be tremendous if it sits and does not move out. Dry air surrounding these systems effects rainfall more than anything.
I believe today is the 1 year anniversary of Imelda.

I also have to agree that giving the public the heads up on the potential for flooding if this system is progged to hang around. Being wrong is safer than being uninformed.
Supposedly I’m hearing dry air could eat this system up as it nears Texas.biggerbyte wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 12:42 pm I was going to say the same thing.

what happens when they run out of Greek names?
I'm good with 5-10 inches of rain spread over a week. Lots of areas badly need it.
12z Ukie caves and gets further w with landfall just n of Matagorda Bay as a TS and moves inland some. Stalls for a day before lifting out, albeit slower.
Trough isn't as deep. Now if the Euro starts showing a weaker trough....

And what is the Weather Channel showing? “World’s Wildest Weather.”
If this was headed toward Florida, I wonder what would be on.

12z Euro landfall in Matagorda on Monday.

I mentioned last night that all this dry air over Texas, and all that shear was really going to kick this systems tail. I posted it then deleted it because I not want to cause a ruckus. LOL We will see.
Wow, exactly what Scott hinted at. The Euro is near San Antonio on Tuesday. That would definitely put us on the dirty side and you’d think it would be pulling in a lot of moisture from the Gulf?

Euro has been west bias all year
It’s not just the Euro that shows this. HWRF shows it too. And we’d probably get a lot more rain with that track.

The Euro pattern would be a game changer dragging in a moist southeast flow...
Well inland then goes ne after visiting San Antonio.
