INVEST 90L: Gulf of Mexico : Gone from NRL

[Ed Mahmoud]

Aye carumba!

That rainband is painfully bright to look at. Sun angle must be perfect to make those thunderstorm clouds just glow.

[Extremeweatherguy]

Well the initial rainband seems to be fading a bit (though it will still likely produce a period of moderate/heavy rain and gusty winds), but the big news now is the fact that more of these bands are trying to setup. If the trend continues, then we could be in for a pretty soggy evening and overnight as the low center makes landfall near High Island and then tracks inland toward NE Harris county.

[Ed Mahmoud]

There is a thread about whether 2007 is a dud season, and two Cat 5s making landfall, says for Central America, not at all, but seeing how a naked swirl travelled the entire Gulf, and finally fired a few storms right before landfall, outside of the extreme deep tropics, down between 10 and 15ºN, the tropics have been rather sedate.

Of course, if people in the Golden Triangle region of Texas, or the people that lost homes around Poza Rica, MX, wanted to argue the point, they sure could.

Speaking of the clouds, this was about 5:30-5:45 looking to the east:

Yeppers. One light feederband....setting at .0.01. The yard is almost flooded.

Here are a few photos to share

Not a drop of rain here today! Looks dark again to my east... Prolly wont make it here... stupid bear creek dome!!

From looking at the Houston/Galveston radar the so called "center" of this thing might go right over Baytown. I hope we don't have one of them core rain events later tonight, like alison did.

Way too much dry air surrounding this system for that to happen fortunately.

[Extremeweatherguy]

we should all feel very lucky that this never strengthened during all those days it was over the GOM. The LLC is currently taking one of the worst case scenario paths for Harris county and if it would have been a strong TS or a hurricane, then it would have been bad news! Thank God though this was only a weak low!

You just have to love those feederbands............as long as they don't do harm.

[southerngale]

We've had some on and off feederbands since yesterday... no big deal, of course.

Btw, 90L looks better now than it did over water. lol
(which isn't saying a lot)

Can a system be called a TD over land?

Erin was a TS

[americanrebel]

I'm talking about not being nothing over water and next getting over land and forming. Erin was something over water and remained a TS on land, so will 90L become a TD and then possibly a TS over land?

[RL3AO]

They won't initiate advisories at least I'm pretty sure about that.

Looks like areas northeast of Houston got rain. I think up to 3 inches fell.

Interesting. That was a close call!
