ATL: Tropical Depression Edouard

[Innotech]

thyis storm never had much of a chance to reach hurricane status to begin with. Im having difficulty seeing how it could even be at 60 mph going by radar/satellite
That said, it is quite windy here in Lafayette right now.

This has got to be the most underwhelming storm in years. I honestly thought this had a chance at Category 2, and don't try telling me it was unrealistic. Also note I said 'underwhelming' not 'disappointing' so no I don't want everyone to die.

I hear that, I NEVER get the chance to be in one of these things and now it looks like I'll continue to wait years.

[Blown Away]

Don't be fooled, a 50-60mph wind is a strong wind and will blow things around. It's the perfect wind to sit on your porch and watch, I'm not suggesting to sit on your porch during these winds it's just something I would do.

It does look like a 60 mph storm to be fair.

On the other side, it looks like a weakening decrepit dying 60 mph storm.

Another burst of convection for Eddie. Lets see if this one lasts.

Eh..just my luck.LoL Im on vacation this week and i sure don't wanna be sitting here in the dark with no A/C.

I have alot to learn about these storms and i have been glued to this topic learning as much as i can. I have been watching the radar loops and what i see isn't very impressive. But yet, i don't know much.

If I remember correctly Franklin at the NHC said last night that "slight" deviations in track could well cause major changes in landfall. I would think that the reformation earlier this evening along with the slight jogs north and nortwest could very well affect the final landfall of this storm. Personally I would like the storm to go ahead and reach land so the possibility of greater strengthening disappears. However, NHC and others have indicated that the track is fairly straightforward so I would say that from Cameron to Galveston would be a pretty safe bet.
JMHO,

2005.... Rita. 2007.... Humberto. 2008.... Eduoardo. PLEASE, NO MORE!

If things go as predicted, I'll be reporting from 20 miles inland of landfall in a few hours. Stay tuned folks. But seriously, no more storms for a while, ok? Please?

The center looks to be moving more westward on the last few frames of the radar loop...

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?prod ... H&loop=yes

And keep in mind that the center is near 28.7N and 92.2/92.3W...meaning on the southwest edge of that large band ( http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=lou ... a=N&tab=il ). These coordinates are not something I made up either, they are from the NHC's 11pm advisory. I think a lot of people may be being tricked into thinking the center is further east.

Just stepped outside in southern Vermilion Parish. Very windy with light rain beginning to fall.

Same here...We have 3 reporters out tomorrow so I should have plenty of photos to post.

Enjoy it, this will likely not be a disaster, a strong TS is amazing to watch and will bring rain to your region.

yes west to wnw is a good bet from here on out. A wobble west before landfall would put it back into the original path from the 4pm advisory......within the error of the cone....

Trust me... Vermilion Parish knows all too well about a disaster... Rita. Enough said.

Can't see any due westward movement in that loop.

Wow, that was not what I was expecting to see as I checked this thread for updates.

On topic though, my folks live in Crosby, on the NE side of Houston, and the more recent shift doesn't sit well with me. How bad do you guys think it will be on that side of town?

[physicx07]

SSD satellite seems to be back (floater images from NHC). I don't think the dry air around the storm will be a big problem. It seems to have a nice moist envelope to work with.

If anything, it is may be a hair north of west. Definitely not anything near a NW motion though, that's for sure. On its current heading, it looks like it will be tough for this to hit east of the Sabine River, IMO.

I think this will hit near galveston bay as a borderline hurricane, like NHC says. It doesnt have much of a chance of getting stronger than that.
