It will have to be. We're running out of tomorrows. One more, and we're nowcasting a GoM 'Cane.weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 4:54 pmYes sir! Tomorrow will be a very important day as well... for both intensity and track as it relates to intensity.srainhoutx wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 4:47 pmDoc Neil states that 10 to 15 mph is the optimal limit for RI. Beyond that it tough due the dynamics involved for a quick ramp up. My hunch would be a slowing down as it approaches the NW Gulf and the expected turn to the N as it move toward the Coast. We'll have plenty of time to work out those details tomorrow into Wednesday.weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 4:40 pm
Interesting that you “say” that... there was some talk yesterday on Twitter about most-desirable speed for RI. Consensus was a 10-15 (maybe faster?) MPH speed is fine as long as system remains vertically stacked, etc. But, 20 may be pushing it.

Unfortunately me in Beaumont hasnt dodged that bullet and any further west, I will be in the eye. AGAIN!! Just got back from doing last minute errands and preps and its a madhouse out there. Lines for gas. Now limiting how many customers in stores. Issuing out water, gas can, generators. Traffic on I-10 is at a stand still here. Reminds me of the chaos before rita and the doom and gloom before Ike. Currently not a good feeling. With Harvey/Imelda PTSD, My nerves are already shot. Today we are looking around thinking enjoy the electricity as much as possible. Cook a good meal. Enjoy the luxuries cause it about to all come to an abrupt end. Praying no more shifts west. Went through eye of Rita and Ike. Not fun!!txsnowmaker wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 5:29 pm If the NHC forecast cone holds up, the Houston Metro area has definitely dodged a bullet. We’ve really been lucky here, especially considering we’ve never had to deal with a Cat 4 or 5 riding up through Freeport/Matagorda, putting the city on the worst side of it.
I’m sorry. Hang in there. Hope you don’t have to go through it all again.djmike wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 5:39 pmUnfortunately me in Beaumont hasnt dodged that bullet and any further west, I will be in the eye. AGAIN!!

Yeah. We feel for Mike. He has gotten the brunt of Storms. I am not that far from you, and I did get IKe and Rita..like you ..
I actually know him personally. He teaches Meteorology classes at SE College of HCC.txsnowmaker wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 5:46 pm Heads up that Fox 26 tv met is about to explain why he sees risks for Houston going down as we move along here.
Glad we left this morning, and I feel your pain. I'm in Lakeway at in laws and I'm researching property as we speak. I'm SO tired of living year to year i S.E.
