The surface low has ruined our chance of seeing the total lunar eclipse. Send it to somewhere else.ticka1 wrote:latest fron jeff lindner:
A non-tropical surface low has formed this afternoon roughly 125 miles SE of Galveston Island and has anchored an persistent area of excessive rainfall south of Sabine Pass where radars rom both Houston and Lake Charles indicate as much as 10-12 inches has fallen today. This surface low is entangled within an upper level low located near the TX coast bend and is expected to drift NW tonight into early Monday and could move inland near Galveston Is/Bay. Will need to watch for the potential for excessive rainfall near/just to the northeast of the core of the surface circulation as has been seen today offshore of Sabine Pass, TX. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches will be likely near the coast possibly as far inland as US 59 through Tuesday, but as seen today isolated locations could see much higher totals under slow moving convection.
There will likely be a very sharp rainfall gradient across the region on Monday similar to today with areas closet to the coast seeing the most rainfall and areas further inland seeing less.
Tides:
Tides are running 1-2 feet above normal currently due to upcoming “super” moon…in perigee…this evening. Surface winds at Galveston have turned to the north and increased into the 20-35mph range this afternoon on the west side of the surface low, but the larger scale flow across the northern Gulf is generally E to W which is resulting in both wave run-up and tidal pile-up on the upper TX coast. So far no big issues today, but highest tides will be tonight and Monday. A Nippion Oil Platform just east of the center is currently reporting a sustained east wind of 36 kts (41mph) and the buoy 20 E of Galveston is gusting to 29 kts (33mph).
