I'm all for anything that brings cloud cover and rain so my electric bill gets a damn break

Amen to that. Our compressor is overworked and unhappy!

And I'm damn tired of running the sprinklers. NOAA and the locals are finally catching up with the forecasts.

lol TWC was calling for flooding this morning - probably for eyeballs and clicks. We could soak up 5-10 inches without a problem in College Station.

[DoctorMu]

You got the high to the north which as we know is usually a recipe for a slow mover.

Correct. Park it here. I saved a space!

[DoctorMu]

There's potentially a midlevel roadblock setting up on the Euro and GFS.





Give me multiple days of rain. Damn the torpedoes.

Question.
Flying to Florida tomorrow for work, and flying back to Houston on Thursday with a 2 hour layover at DFW. Should I cancel that last leg and rent a car? Just trying to figure out where the remnants will be on Thursday.

DoctorMu yeah that ridge is going to really slow this down once it moves in land, but at the same time that would really magnify the flooding potential in some areas, even with the dry grounds

[djmike]

So how long till we see tropical watches/warnings on the upper Tx coast?

[Stratton20]

If it does become a TS, which i think it will be overnight when that happens, probably would see warnings issued as early as monday afternoon

lol You have no idea how dry it is in Aggieland, now.

This is still going to be a weak system. It's no Harvey. Bring it. I can deal with a little flash flooding.

[Stratton20]

Oh no its not going to be harvey, but it reminds me of Imelda, weak but slow moving that dumped some ridiculous totals around se texas. But this time it has more water to develop, and id strongly argue that this is already a TD.

[DoctorMu]

NOAA is on board with heavy rains in Localized areas. Sporadic and heterogeneous. The next 24 hours will be telling.

Imelda dropped 40 inches.

[Brazoriatx979]

It's already closed off. Should be upgraded at 4

Still not particularly looking that impressive but there is probably enough there given it's proximity to land that they could initiate PTC advisories this evening.

I'd guess Cameron to High Island on Tuesday. Might extend down to Galveston...

[Stratton20]

If we see convection blow up tonight, the. all bets are off lol. But it definitely has a closed low

[DoctorMu]

.

[Stratton20]

Models are catching up, GFS went from no development to now having a weak TS moving into galveston and moving NW at hour 48

[DoctorMu]

It will probably rain 10 inches in Huntsville and nothing here.

[djmike]

I hope we get 10” in Beaumont!

[vci_guy2003]

I hope we get 10” in Beaumont!

Don’t worry Beaumont always gets blasted!

[cperk]

OK please don't shoot the messenger, but a few minutes ago i heard KHOU's David Paul mention an outside chance of a cat1 hurricane.
