Tropical wave over the south-central Gulf of Mexico has been declared 99L this afternoon.

US Air Force aircraft investigated the area of disturbed weather this afternoon and did find a broad low level circulation, but no well defined center. Additionally, since the time the aircraft left, deep convection has decreased and it would not appear that the system is becoming any better organized. While upper level conditions do appear favorable for intensification, the system will be nearing the Mexican coast over the next 24 hours and this should limit the overall development potential. With that said, systems under favorable upper level conditions in this part of the Gulf of Mexico can spin up into tropical storms fairly quickly and this is possible on Friday.

Tropical moisture will be moving into the TX coast on Friday and during the weekend with increased rain chances especially near the coast.

Over the next 5-15 days the western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico will need to be watched closely for additional tropical developments as several model ensembles are suggesting some potential for more organized tropical activity.

 
It should be interesting. Let's hope for more rain. 8-) :twisted:

Can you find a year in the North Atlantic where there were no hurricanes?

I believe 1907 and 1914 had no reported Hurricanes, but that was well before the satellite era.

The data should be considered dubious. I am pretty sure 1907 and 1914 had hurricanes, but likely in the middle of the ocean.

I had .15 inches of rain yesterday after the seabreeze passed. Not looking too good today up here in NW Harris County in the potential rainfall department, but I am somewhat optimistic that early next week another chance of a easterly wave/inverted trough may bring a bit more rain further inland and just perhaps a bit further N than TD 8 toward the South/Middle Texas Coast. We will see.

Was looking cloudy and seemed like we might get some rain in Stafford this afternoon. Alas, only a few sprinkles. Not even enough to get my hair wet. Sigh... Sun is back out, just hot and steamy, no rain in sight. On the plus side, FOOTBALL is back, which means hopefully cooler temps and maybe, just maybe some rain....

Very happy about football season! Rained a bit at the house and became a real steambath afterwards!

If something was to form in the SW GOM/BOC would it head towards Texas or to Mexico?

Somewhere between Tuxpan Mexico and the Middle Texas Coast appears to be the area that any weak tropical disturbance could eventually move inland with NE Mexico Gulf Coast to just S of Corpus Christi the most favored area at this time.

Atascocita Road gas leak

HARRIS COUNTY -- Harris County Emergency Corps has issued a shelter-in-place for homes east of the 5000 block of Atascocita Road after a tank filled with pyrethrin gas fell over after being struck by lightning.

Officials said the gas tank is leaking and advised residents turn off their air conditioners. A radius for the alert was not given.

Haz-mat crews are working to contain the scene.

The Western Gulf of Mexico remains very unsettled this afternoon. It appears this will be the theme for the next several day into next week as generally lower pressures and several tropical waves move WNW to NW from the Western Caribbean Sea.
