A previous AFD from houston that was stated earlier this morning in a post farther back in this thread said that theres a chance that the wave may make it to Texas...Im hoping it doesnt get too strong, but strong enough to remain intact until it makes landfall...im hoping to god it makes it to texas so it can bring some much needed rain to our state and hopefully make it up into the dallas area where i live. Remember, im not -removed- anything more than a moderate TS at most for this system...IN no way do I want to see a massive hurricane destroy the Texas coast.
Just some rain that will bring us closer to ending our drought
Actually, it didn't say anything about making it to Texas. It simply said:
MAY NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TROPICAL WAVE TO THE EAST OF THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS...BUT AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS TO BE A LITTLE TO
CLOSE TO THE EQUATOR. 45
and that would be a logical thing for any NWS office along the coast to say.
You do sound a little eager though. Come down here where Rita hit last year and you might not be so eager for any kind of tropical system to hit Texas. You can get rain in the northern part of Texas without those of us along the coast having to deal with a TS or hurricane. We don't need any rain down here either. We've had 3 flooding events in just over a month, the first two being the worst.
