TD 5 Gulf Of Mexico

[rnmm]

I agree with you that this will be interesting to watch. I too hope for some rain from this. I know my yard will appreciate it! What are your feelings on this one? The intensity of this storm doesn't seem to ramp up too much correct?

I am thinking a possible TD or even weak TS IF it get offshore far enough. Should it develop closer to the coast or inland, the track would likely bring heavy rainfall and some breezy conditions across the Northern Gulf Coast IMO. Regardless, some folks are going to get a lot of rain and potentially flooding rains at that.

Well now...

Most of the activity is offshore, and it, with what is onshore, is moving southward. My take on this, at the moment, is that we will indeed have redevelopment. I think it will be well offshore, and it could be enough to get a name. As far as Texas rains go... That depends on how a few things pan out over the next few days. Maybe equal chances either way. I'd be careful to assume strength and landfall, ATM.. Get it far enough offshore, given enough pre landfall time, this system will have the ability to quickly get it's act together..


Pray for rain, folks... Bring it on.

Noon...

Watching carefully for any MCV (mesoscale vortex) that may spin up. Certainly brings back memories of a mid August back in 83...

That is does srainhoutx.

Nice blow up of convection

Interestingly enough, that storm in 1983 formed as a depression on August 15th.
Made landfall on the 18th.
Hmmmm.

Man that was a horrible 2 weeks without power.
It was hot even as a 10 year old.

It was my first hurricane. Funny how an event such as that as a child determined (at least for me it did) what I would do with my life.

What is your thinking Steve? A weak T.S. somewhere east of Lake Charles? Flash flooding for sure, somewhere?

[srainhoutx]

Looks we may see Danielle as weak TS. IF I were guessing, probably landfall somewhere near Vermillion Bay, maybe a bit W of there. Certainly looks like a flooding event for some folks IMO.

[Rip76]

I have a feeling, I'll be running my sprinklers next week.

I was thinking Grand Chenier myself....

[biggerbyte]

Landfall will be somewhere from S. E. Texas, to Central LA. You can take that to the bank. Certainly no further east than NOLA, but I think this will push a bit further south than some may think at this point, so NOLA would seem less likely.

We'll see..

[desiredwxgd]

I wonder if watches at the very least would be posted once the low itself moves off shore given the short time frame from a possible redevelopment to a move inland.
