Not sure about that direction, mate. Last few satellite frames seem to indicate more of a northward component. I'm thinking the llc would be over water tomorrow.


What would push it north? The local NWS doesn't even mention it, but their morning discussion was only 4 lines....literally.


Not sure, but the models are pushing the convection up the MX-TX coast. Some models even into LA. If this thing develops and some how manages to get over water. :eek:

Does anyone remember how quick Bret (I think) turned into a Monster before striking TX in the late 90's?

My sense is with the upper low still working over NE Mexico and a building ridge in the Gulf that, according to TPC, will build westward ... the overall flow in the upper level would push any system more towards the north and less towards the west.

But I'm now getting into technical meteorological discussions that I should leave to the pro mets on the board! :D

"Models continue to take this moisture up the Mexican coastal areas into southern TX or LA. The GFS & Nogaps show it more towards TX while the Canadian more towards LA."


Got this quote off another board. Would appreciate if anyone has links to these models, specificly the Canadian. Would like to know how this thing can end up in LA

Until 93L decides to do something, I think this one will be the show of the day.

Thanks HouTXmetro and Portastorm. I didn't even know this little blob of convection was there until just a little while ago. I guess I'll check out the models now since I have outdoor plans for Saturday evening that were postponed from June 17th, the weekend it rained so much before the flooding on the following Monday. Hopefully, it won't get postponed again.

I guess I better get my row boat out moth balls.

We've gone to a 50% chance of showers to a 5-10 inch rain event in 24 hrs???? :eek:

BTW, Bastardi is somewhat concerned this MIGHT develop. We shall see.

Satellite indicates their is a broad circulation with this system. The question is if there is one developing at the surface.

You should give it 24 hours before we starting getting too excited about it - the blob could just go poof at anytime - we don't know yet

It can, but I noticed the convection merging last night and has only gotten better. I very well can eat crow but I think we got a player IF and thats a big IF, it stays just offshore and progresses North.

I was calling for a NW Caribbean system early this week but looks like I was off to the east by a little - I called that earlier in the week.

So I guess I'll eat some crow but I just knew that wave was going to pop somewhere down the road...
