Not so sure, we have an explosion of thunderstorms very close to the coast and whenever we have thunderstorms on the increase in a consolidated area they tend to lower the pressure and "tighten" up any weak low there may be, but with it being so close to land the race is coming to an end , but it may be trying to sprint to the finish line so to speak.


Not sure it's sprinting anywhere right now " that "MLC" or whatever it is has been near that same area most of the day.

Buoy 42020 just came in for 7:50pm and the pressure remaind the same at 1009.6, will be interesting to see if it starts to rise now.


Did not mean sprinting in relation to foreword speed, more in relation to development

Its very tropical tonight along the Upper TX Coast. Humidity is 84% and the Dew Point is 73.

Here are three photos to share of the tropical rainbow tonight. The PW values must be running very high tonight. The last photo shows the next band of showers approaching.

I was just adding a little humor to the 4 clusters of storms on the last visible satellite image of the disturbance.

Kat, we must live quite close to one another, cuz I was just outside lookin at the same rainbow.... :D

Did you see the clouds this afternoon? Certainly had that "tropical" look to 'em. I love how the weather looks when a system like this - named or not - is approaching.

It sure does look GOOD for a no name nothing. The tropics sure can be weird sometimes.... :eek:

Good to see that that MLC near Brownsville is still hangin around. Might get Chris out of this thing yet....

Now more than 5 minutes after the rainbow photos scud clouds filled the sky. Shades of Claudette 1979 if any remembers along the Upper TX Coast. Potential for tremendous rainfall exists in the upcoming 25 hours

This one is a little more interesting.

http://lighthouse.tamucc.edu/overview/003

Observation is over 2 hours old though but it had a NW wind and a pressure of 1006mb if accurate.

There is NOTHING at the sfc right now even close to the water. Something will have to work its way down. All this talk of LLC's though...well...there aren't any.

AFM...

While we have learned not to look at radar for a closed low to begin forming.

Does this constant area of Tstorm activity that has basically sat for the last two hours between Corpus and Brownsville give any reason to be suspicious?

Seems as if the energy has slowed down?
