Not sure where DT got his info from but...

David Tollerisposted toStorm2k.org Only group members can see this post
FOLKS this is TS DON ... max flight level winds 50 knots SFMR found surface winds 45 knots

This is what he posted on FB.

Well I expect watches to go out with this next package. Anyone care to guess where? Most of the Texas Gulf coast region I would assume?

[Blown Away]

I predict landfall TS/Cat 1 between Corpus Christi and Matagorda Bay!

Yep probably so. If they don't issue watches with the next advisory I will be surprised.

From Greg Bostwick (KFDM 6 Chief Met) facebook page:

System in the Gulf will be upgraded to TS "Don". Don is packing 40 mph winds with motion to the WNW about 12 mph. Don could become a CAT 1 hurricane before landfall which will likely be near Brownsville Friday evening.

[Ellsey]

Just curious, what does "bombing" refer to?

By the way, thanks to everyone for all the info. It's been fascinating.

Generally it refers to a system gaining intensity quickly, ie, like a bomb going off, exploding.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

Brownsville seems a bit too far south but who knows.

Wow. Bold move.

Wow ... he's already pulling the trigger on landfall ... and so far south. Hugging the Euro, I guess.

Dancing in Europe with the folks....

Even though it is somewhat comparable in size, this is not likely to rival either Celia (1970) or Bret (1999). Landfall in Kenedy County (like Bret) would be a good thing, though.

Yep he sure is.

We have 600 plus people on the board currently. A reminder to limit the "chit chat" in the active storm forum and keep on topic. It has been going well so far so keep up the good work!

I'm sticking to my Dolly-08/Claudette-03 hybrid.
