Upper Texas coast, Western La.....LOOK OUT!

[GalvestonDuck]

Front going to save TX/LA...and turn it N over the next few days.

I guess, these fronts & High pressure systems keep pissing me off. Is one half decent storm in 20 years too much to ask for?

Speak for yourself!

Allison counts a a serious storm, did cause billions of dollars worth of damage in 2001... Turned my neighboorhood into a lake

My neighborhood came no where near flooding during Allison. Personally I haven't experienced extreme weather since Alicia.

How bad was Claudette last year?

I truly believe all gulf coast residents and tourists from TX-FL need to watch this. That's just the early call. Later forecasts will definitely paint a clearer picture. But I think this could be a major threat potentially somewhere along the Gulf Coast. We'll see though.

I think Bonnie is quite possible as soon as tomorrow. This is got it's act together as of late with a definite area of low pressure trying to develop at the surface. The key tonight is will this persist?? Keep an eye out for sure.

BONNIE to be is possibly going to hit east texas squirrel country.

How bad was Claudette last year?

60 mph winds throughout Houston with 70 mph gusts I think. It made landfall in Matagorda Bay, with the eyewall passing about 20 miles off the coast of Galveston. It was pretty windy, but Ive experience worse in a tornadic thunderstorm.

[Rainband]

I agree our Florida storms have gusts worse than that But Claudette did kill at least one person

Allison wasn't even a tropical storm when it did all that flooding in Houston. It's proof that dying tropical systems don't just die. It's tropical rainfall can prove devastating if it moves over a major metro area such as Houston and stalls, just like it did back in June of 2001.

As for Claudette, it made landfall over the Matagorda Bay area with sustained winds over 90 mph. One report on the north end of Matagorda Bay in Seadrift of 96 mph sustained winds with a gust to 111 mph, making this a borderlined category 2 hurricane on the saffir simpson scale. It really did try to deepen rapidly before landfall and even during landfall, but just ran out of room to strengthen anymore than it did. Thankfully Claudette moved rapidly to keep rainfall amounts relatively low at 3-6 inches for the most part. But just imagine if this thing developed sooner over the northwest Gulf. I would have bet my bottom dollar this could have been a major hurricane if it had more room with that very warm water. With Claudette being near land during it's rapid deepening period combined with the relatively fast motion toward the coast kinda kept the system from developing into a major cat 3 hurricane or stronger.

I know all of that, I was asking the poster how bad Claudette was at their house. I followed it closely so I know what it did.

I live in far Southeast Houston just North of Clear Lake and East of Pearland. All we got from Claudette was a little rain and wimpy squall lines. Had the storm pushed a little further north things would have gotten a bit more interesting.

Oh ok, Oh well I guess I just improved my writing skills a bit, hehehhee

Hey just got word that the hurricane hunters based out of Keesler will head into this system tomorrow IF NECCESSARY. We'll see what happens. But I think given the anticyclonic flow aloft is developing around this system, we definitely must keep a close eye on this as anticyclonic flow aloft favors a more rapid development of a tropical cyclone as the outflow pattern is more enhanced, thus lower pressures.

Theyd be foolish not to investigate this...

As of 7:45 pm CDT, Cancun was still reporting an ENE wind.

Well, I'm safe -- "There are no squirrels on Galveston Island." *

*From the back page of a Galveston tourism book in a "Fun Facts" section that I read a few years ago. For the record, it's true!! I've seen bushy-tailed gray seagulls, running around on all fours, collecting acorns and climbing trees. But no squirrels.

How about you go to the storm rather than inviting the storm here.

[Javlin]

If and when it strengths and the track of the next frontal boundry it should go more N then E.The stronger it becomes the more Northward pull it will have.

Looks like the low is developing right at the tip of the YC on the Mexico side with the high building over it with more of WNW motion.....

There are squirrels all over the place here. Uh-oh

I've been gone all day and am surprised to come home and see a little something there that wasn't there before.


I just clicked on this link that Houstoner posted...it looks good now!
