If you're talking about Donald Jones out of Lake Charles, he clearly said to double it to understand the potential of heavier rainfall in certain areas due to training bands, if they happen. They're going to happen somewhere, he just doesn't know where. He was speaking more in terms of worst case scenario.


I understand that but he was talking everyone from se tx to la not just sw la. So not sure if that is a thing they do. I will still ask at the 10:30 briefing.

TVCN doesnt really deviate much upon landfall from its 18z track. Its beyond landfall where the current NHC track differs greatly from the current TVCN.

That’s actually a massive east shift. Not landfall, but afterwards. That would put the worst of the weather into extreme southeast TX and into Louisiana. Houston area would be alright. Definitely manageable rainfall totals with that track.

Where's the previous TVCN? This would benefit Houston for sure as that would keep most of the rain offshore, but not good for Louisiana.

Ok so now that those models shifted away from Victoria doesn’t look so badly here. I can’t believe the models are jumping around so much 24 hrs out

So this new model helps Houston even though it would pass right over Houston?

Yeah, definitely annoying. Just when I thought I was going to get some good rain here. Oh well I’m still holding out hope for a few inches.

Previous TVCN was near Port Aransas now it is on the east side of Matagorda Bay about 100 miles west of Galveston.

So if you're in Houston, your choices are do you want to be punched in the face or punched in the stomach. Great.

Yes the closer this comes into Houston the better it will be in terms of flooding. Coastal areas along Galveston Bay and Galveston Island would most likely see TS force winds or at the very least TS force gusts but we can easily handle that down here compared to massive flooding if it comes in further west.

ummmmm just a quick update Those are called the early models. They take the 18Z tracks and shift them based on where the center was located at 00Z. So it's not a new model run. Can a pro please help explain this?

EPS is derived from the Euro which is the furthest west out of all the major models makes sense that the EPS is west like the euro is too.

Yeah, I know. I’m just not a fan at all of what I saw from the 0z tropical models.

Matt Lanza of Space City Weather isn't buying the euro and is leaning more towards the GFS and other tropical models like the HWRF. He says we will have to watch the overnight euro run to see if it caves towards the GFS and other models or if it still insists on a weaker slower moving storm that would dump lots of rain.He says the main reason why he isn't buying the euro is because the highest rain totals are further inland and he thinks the highest rain totals will be closer to the coast.

Look at the moisture train on the 18Z EURO goes all the way to EPAC. That is very juicy. :D

Well that sure would explain the massive rain totals the Euro has been putting out. Don't think it is going to happen the way the Euro is showing but it is certainly still a possibility.

Looks like the GFS is going to be closer to being right than the Euro. Center reformation aligns with the general idea that the GFS has been showing in today's runs.
