Stormclouds...yes

I know Rita was Sept 22 (?), but that was super late for this area.

I'm driving down to spend the weekend in Galveston - I know that rain is on the forecast. But then we are leaving on a cruise Monday - we leave from Galveston and go to Progeso Mexico (Yucatan), and Cozumel before returning to Galveston. It's a five day cruise. So... I'm wondering what the GOM is going to offer up for the next 10 or so days.

Just something to keep an eye on for future model runs.

So far, CMC doesn't develop it as a warm core.

12Z ECMWF has a surface low form in the Gulf and move to the Texas coast in the 4 day time frame.

Heavy rain from that lingering front here. You would think that much hanging moisture would spin-up a system but so far it hasn't.

Granted, the resolution is quite low on the Penn State e-wall site and the free Euro site but I looked over both of those and did not see a surface low at the four-day mark by Texas. Got a better link by any chance?

Thanks srainhoutx! I obviously was looking at the wrong sites.

Looks like maybe a TD off the Coastal Bend?

Weather is looking good for your cruise next week. East and southeasterly winds lighter than normal between Galveston and the Yucatan. Lots of sunshine. You're getting very lucky, it appears.

As for the weak trof axis in the Gulf, I'm estimating a 20-30% chance it might develop into a TD/TS before it moves ashore into Texas on Friday/Saturday. That's a 70-80% it won't get a name, but a pretty good chance it'll bring us some rain regardless.

Thanks wxman - I would like a little wind and rain to make it exciting. :wink: but I can be happy with clear sunny days. :lol:

You would think something in time could/would/should form from
this mess in the GOM. IMO
