Question about changes in Rita’s Track??

I know from the models it does seem like Rita will end up some where in mid to upper Texas, but consensus that many days into the future is really quite boring, imho. I know that from an early preparedness, safety first standpoint its great, but if you can for a minute forget this storm will change peoples lives forever, maybe even end a few, its really not all that much fun. With as good as the NHC has been at predicting the projected path of topical disturbances lately, this year in particular (e.g. Dennis, Emily, Katrina, etc.), I guess I am not quite as interested in following the tropics. I know I really can’t fault them and all, they are providing a great service, saving lives and all, but it sure takes the “fun” out of it. Now to the question! Sure, the likelihood of Rita ending up in Texas is high, but its not 100%. Are there any other possibilities (don’t give me this anything is possible stuff either)? What if it slows down? Speeds up? Strengthens? Weakens? High builds? High moves? Fronts? Anything? If so, why or how????? How likely in your opinion (please, don’t burn anyone for an opinion this is for fun)???? I sure appreciate pictures!! I know it will likely hit Texas, but please make this fun for me again.

It's hitting Texas and it won't be fun.

I guess your right, its Texas for sure. Damage, distruction and death are not fun. Point taken. Sorry for the inappropriate post.

Don't sweat it Brent. Maybe when this is all over we'll have something benign to admire from afar, but for now a lot of people are stressed rather than intrigued, including me...

Take care-

How can anyone be sure it is going to hit Texas?

Do you remember with Katrina only a FEW days before it made landfall it was suppposed to hit the panhandle of Florida?!

Then, bam! it was headed to N.O., with only a couple of days notice.

I have a question: Where does it show the projection of the various models?

one local meteorologist here said that one of the models was not in agreeance with the others.

Hicksta: I meant where does it show the projection path that the various models thinking it will hit, the UKMET or w/e it is called, etc.

This link you gave me doesn't show that.

Thanks.
