Nothing in CC TX this morning, just a little rain like any other day.

Erin is saying "Good Morning Y'all" right now. Light/moderate/heavy rain falling in Austin, TX.....flash flood warnings up for Lee & Bastrop Counties....she made sunrise nice with those clouds.......

Hurricane Dean will not be so nice to Texas though...

It is on the N/NW side of Houston.

Texas should be breathing a sigh of relief today. Erin never became a hurricane (like Derek once suggested) and it never became that well organized. Just a rain maker.

And if that is not enough, model guidance continues to suggest further a Yucatan and Mexico impact instead of U.S. In fact, according to M Watkins..."Mexico, No US Impact: 60%
Mexico and US Impact: 35%
US Impact Only: 5%"

Sure things will change, but for now, things are looking good for Texas and Louisiana.

Here is what M Watkins also said, "Most of the objective guidance suggests that Dean will plow into the Yucatan and then head south into the southern Gulf with a second Mexico landfall south of Brownsville, TX. Odds are on a Mexico-only situation after this clears the islands…but odds can and will change."

I think that says enough.

[DESTRUCTION5]

Yes, because it is relevant to all 3 threads.
I think there is too much hype going on (made by amateurs) right now so I am using information from pro-mets on this board to allow people to calm down.

Wow.
How has the media been playing out this doomsday tragedy?

[Extremeweatherguy]

Just think... If Erin had not developed, SE Texas would still likely be under heat advisories with no rain in sight! In the end, Erin seems to have been more of a blessing than a curse.

I've had nearly 3" of rain under the Bear Creek Dome this morning, with just enough quick breaks to forestall flooding. Thunder has been rumbling since the first bands began moving through around 4:00 a.m. Looks like far west Houston wins the prize today.

Hot and muggy in Austin ... oh wait, I don't count .. EWG said only those on the coast!

Hot and muggy? I don't know about hot, but it's sure muggy and wet. I hope this storm will behave itself and move along quickly.

NCweatherwizard isn't a pro met I don't think. He's one of my favorites on the board, but he's not a professional.
