Looking better and better. I would think the Tropical Storm watches and warnings would be getting out soon for South Texas and NE Mexico

I had lunch on the seawall in Galveston that day. Trust me, Fay was nothing to write home about.
But Grace may be the better "analogy", I'll give you that

I do not think they issue watches until a system is designated as at least a TD

It looks WNW to me. If it changes direction, which isn't expected, someone will post about it.

Re: ATL: INVEST 96L - DISCUSSION
I think it was revealed in the 95L thread that watches/warnings could be issued first, though they would be loath to do it. You probably want to go back to the thread and check that to be sure, thoughcwachal wrote:dabears wrote:Looking better and better.

Maybe a slight slow-down and recovery from being over land. The convection is moving over the distorted lower level spiral.

They can issue warnings and watches on an unclassified system.

IMO center relocations take time and this doesn't have that. I still don't think this will be upgraded before it moves inland. If it had more time I think it would be a shoe in.

95L had less time though, and we saw what happened (Or according to NHC), almost happened there.
