Both the Euro and GFS are very similar with the path of the remnants heading towards our area

Luckily for us, both global models do not forecast a very good environment for rapid intensification or anything like that...

A drop of rain would be a welcome relief...just one drop.

I did hear the guy on FOx News this morning say we could get some rain from remnants of TD5 next week....Any thoughts on that particular model run or us getting any rain from this system??
It's not just one model run. It's also the UKMET, Euro, the GFS, and the ensemble members...

How would it happen? It would just move west underneath a weakness between two strong ridges across the SE and the SW. About as easy as that...

Why not just pick her up and slam her down, Mr. T? LOL

GFS ensembles are in good agreement with the operational Euro and GFS

Check the timestamps. That is yesterday's run.
Well don't I look like a D-bag. I need to pay closer attention. I just assumed it was after 2pm that it was updated.

So what are we looking at folks. Best guess? A lot of rain over SE TX and SW LA? A t.d.? Perhaps a t.s? Any thoughts?

Ask those questions again on Sunday or Sunday night. Still too early to tell what direction the td5 remnant will take.

18z GFS at hour 84:

Also here is what wxman57 posted on another forum:
Been busy all day with a lot of things, one of them trying to figure out what the remnant low will do early next week. Seems like each model has a different solution, and a different solution with each model run. Hard to trust anything at this point. As weak as the LLC is now, there may not be an LLC in another 24 hours. Then all we'll have is an area of vorticity that eventually moves down near the coast (or just offshore). It would take longer for something without an LLC to develop.

GFS develops the low near the NW FL panhandle and tracks it just inland to Vermilion Bay then across the Gulf to Galveston, developing it very quickly offshore. Probably an unlikely solution. Euro is much weaker with the low. Can't get a closed isobar unless I go down to 1/2 millibar increments. But that may not be a bad solution. Canadian has been wildly swinging back and forth with its projections of where the low would go - west one run, east the next. Hard to trust that THIS run it's correct. NAM is ... the NAM. Develops most features, clueless as to where they might track.

Big picture would suggest a stronger ridge building north of the remnants, indicating a slow westward movement similar to the Euro. But does it get far enough offshore to give it a chance at redevelopment? Maybe. Something to keep an eye on, anyway.


Edit to add that the 18z GFS run doesn't ever get Ex TD 5 into the gulf but has it loop around the Southern gulf coast states before getting pushed north.

Also FWIW the 18z Nam does bring the low back into the gulf briefly:

Another board yanked the td5 discussion thread. Strange, since we are far from being done.

Gene certainly seemed concerned about it on the 6PM newscast tonight. We'll have to see how this evolves. Like Dr. Frank always says never write it off til it's well inland and dissipated.
