Seadootoo, why not check out the site besides during the Hurricane Season. Great place to discuss the weather in general and other issues.

The weather dumb/a's here are telling everybody not to worry cause it's not coming to Corpus. Last night, one of the local mets told everybody that there was only a 6% chance that we would get the storm. What he didn't tell us was that the highest precent was Brownsville at 8%. IMHO that was very irresponsible reporting. I would have come to the site earlier had I known it existed.

Right now, we have our track in the middle of Corpus Christi Bay at 84hrs (4am Monday morning). However, I have a strong suspicion we'll be moving it northward tomorrow. The faster Claudette moves, the later that west turn will occur. In fact, it may not turn at all and head right into the LA coast west of Vermilion Bay. Interestingly, the GFDL is now concentrating on the Houston/Galveston area the past 2 runs with a strong Cat 2 storm. I think the upper TX coast to LA may be at higher risk than CRP, but we'll see.

Bed time!

Gee thanks Wxman57!! That is just what we all wanted to hear in the Petroplex!!!! NOT!!!!! Unfortunately, I fear you are correct jn your assessment of the current situation. Unless Claudette does something else weird(even though all of her wierdness is really explainable)the signs point to an upper TX coast landfall. The trough will miss her or vice versa and I think she will be too far north for the westerly turn that will be induced by the incoming high pressure from the west to take her into unpopulated areas of Mexico or S TX between Brownsville and Corpus, imo. I hope I am wrong since she will be moving into an area that is prime for intensification in the next 24 hours. Her missing or almost missing the Yucatan Peninsula will not help matters either.
