Campeche Blob

[lrak]

Campeche MX has had SW plus pressures are somewhat low. Is this just some sort of afternoon showers. I see a trough in the area, just hoping for a bit of rain and the GFS became a tad bit wetter on the last run.

eh? the local conditions are about the same as they were 24 hours ago. Wishful thinking. No wind but please please send us some rain, its getting depressing watching everything die. My water bill is sky high and the yard still looks half alive and starving. Mesquites are green as always but I lost one about a year ago due to the drought. Anyone got a 5% shot at some rain in the next week or two. Maybe Ana will stay far enough south and we may get the tail of it?

I wish that you could receive some rainfall, but I'm afraid, from what I am seeing, that whatever is left of Ana will head in the same direction as Claudette. I don't think the rainshield will even reach my area. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

west wind for a while now. Looks like the blob will move inland in next few hours. Maybe the moisture will make its way up to S TX?

There appears there is outflow from the blob on its ne side, maybe it will hold together and move into Texas, maybe as a TD?

TD, shoot I'd kill for an inch of rain.

all the buoys along the Western Gulf are low, and the trend has been a falling pressure.

and the 30 loop of the visible makes the whole western Gulf look like a column of clockwise rotation from Houston to the Bay of Campeche. Is this the start of the possible middle Gulf low for later this week?

wouldn't we need counter clockwise flow?
