Re: ATL: DON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Just got home and playing catch-up reading through the pages and noticed no one has mentioned the ULL just off the east coast of Florida. Doesn't appear to be in any hurry to move and is actually drifting west. Could/will this have any effect on the ridge as it attempts to build in? And of course any effects on Don that may leave a bigger weakness along the north gulf coast to allow for more north movement?

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.
That's interesting because the consensus is up around the Central TX coastline...
It's not really a consensus as much as it is splitting the difference between two scenarios. FWIW at this time I don't think the GFS and its children have the right idea and I'm leaning towards a lower TX coast landfall. I won't be convinced until the plane data is ingested into tonight's runs, however.

Re: ATL: DON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
hmmmm....
recon just found 1000.3 mb with a ~20kt wind
that would equate to 998mb at least using the 10kts per mb rule...interesting

Pressure from recon now at 1000mbs, so fairly steady at the moment but the presentation does seem to be improving.
Dreeze, thats a good point, pressure probably is a little lower afterall!

Thats an important note from NHC. Thats basically them saying if they had a 60 hr forecast point it would be 60 or 65kt.
Indeed, if I were in TX I would be preparing for the landfall of a hurricane.
That comes out to about 110 miles of water before landfall on my gps map. Give or take.

Re: ATL: DON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Bleagh.. not to go too off-topic, but it looks like the effects of Don will be short-lived and can I just make a very public wish/prayer for NO power outages?
TROPICAL STORM DON WILL MOVE QUICKLY INLAND AFTER LANDFALL AND
WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY EVENING. SOME ISOLATED
CONVECTION COULD PERSIST SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LINGERING MOISTURE.
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPREAD BACK ACROSS
TEXAS BEGINNING SUNDAY AND STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
NEXT WEEK. BASED ON MODEL CONSISTENCY AND FORECAST 850 MB
TEMPS...IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES SO FAR OF THIS
VERY HOT SUMMER ARE LIKELY NEXT WEEK. EVEN THE CONSERVATIVE MEXMOS
IS FORECASTING HIGHS CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES IN HOUSTON. HAVE BUMPED
UP TEMPS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. KEPT 20 POPS GOING EACH DAY FOR
POSSIBILITY OF SOME ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

Houstonia, depends on how strong it gets...
The thing I will say is its quite a small area, so the rainfall region may not be as large as you'd expect from a top end TS/Marginal hurricane.

Yeah, but landfall can of course do all sorts of things to a storm, including expanding the rain field by quite a bit.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, Houston news is all over this... Shocker.

If only for the rain hopefully the central track is right, a landfall close to where Bret came in would be decent.
Yeap Kennedy County would be a perfect landfall location for minimizing property damage. And as I have said before NE Mexico to Port La Vaca would be my cone and the stronger Don gets the more likely it veers more westward.

Plenty of space for it to strengthen to a hurricane from 55kts, heck Humberto went from nearly nothing to a hurricane in that sort of space!

That comes out to about 110 miles of water before landfall on my gps map. Give or take.
Plenty of space for it to strengthen to a hurricane from 55kts, heck Humberto went from nearly nothing to a hurricane in that sort of space!
too much time for my liking...

They seem to be struggling with regards to that center, probably suggests the center is wobbling around quite alot...could indicate its about to undergo RI??
Who knows, could also be as simple as the motion being quite different from what they were expecting...I'd be surprised if it was just bad flying, those guys are real pros at this sort of thing afterall.

Re: ATL: DON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I also think the model forecast strength is on the low side. See no reason why this does not become a cane. Some shear, but too much in it's favor.

Given its small size it also won't take in too much dry air till its making landfall, probably means strengthening right upto landfall...keep an eye on the microwave imagery when the next one comes out, esp if it starts to form anything resembling an inner core...
