TD18 looks like its really getting better organized this morning with a big increase in convection bursting near the center. Overall convection pushing out with a more circular appearance. Looks like TS Rita soon. Expect a W-NW or NW track the next 36 hrs or so and then due west. It'll be interesting to see how much latitude it gains prior to the west turn. With Hurricane watches over the NW Bahamas, I don't doubt its a hurricane by 48 hrs. The long term track is more problematic - this may be an evolving pattern over the next 2-3 days as there are some hints that the elongated strong ridge over SE TX may weaken or retrograde due to a shortwave trough that will move over the SE states around Wednesday. Stay tuned GOM residents.

No... 280 IS north of west, but it's not WNW.

Well with the model runs showing a more N component, TD 18 steadily organizing, warm GOM waters, and a ridge that may not be as strong I will be doing a trial run with my storm panels.....one for wood frame and another for brick frame. Hopefully the ridge will hold strong however a hurricane in the Central GOM mid-week headed W or WNW is to close for comfort.

Lori & Sky; Isn't there a law, constitution of something that prohibits having to evacuate evacuees. I'm near the coast in SW Louisiana by the Texas border and we have spent the last month caring for our neighbors who evacuated New Orleans. I just cannot fathom having to evacuate them again. Please tell #18 that this isn't a good time for us along the N. Gulf Coast. :wink:

Those models definately pick up on a weakening ridge days 4-5. That doens't sound too good right now for anyone.
