I beleave the texas ridge will shift to the west over the rockies in the next 5 days. Models might not show it yet but everything is comming together to move it off to the west. This is a post I made yesterday.
@ Lonelymike,,
As 93L moves off to the west it will get into the big area of 29+c water west of 50w. MJO starts to come back which favors upward developement in the Atlantic all at the same time 93L moves into ther Caribbean. The future track of this is still up in the air but there are some key features showing up in the models and they seem to be in general agreemnet on a very strong trough over the gulf of alaska in the next 5-7 days which I beleave would cause ridging over western Canada. This I beleave would cause the Texas ridge to move west over the Colorado area. In turn the weakness off thre east coast between this ridge and the Atlantic ridge would move farther to the west over the east gulf coast. I think this would leave an area for this storm to move into the gulf of mexico as it feels the weakness. I dont know what it will be,TD,TS,Hurricane, or just a open wave but I do beleave that there is a good chance of whatever it is to make landfall in a gulf state. Just something we need to keep an eye on. But please this is not a offical forecast and 99.9% of the time I have no idea what I am talking about. This is based on my own thought and you should look to the NHC for real info.

Now I may be missing something but I beleave that the ridge will move to the west causing a weakness in the gulf. The models dont show it moving and I dont know why but the set up calls for a shift. This is based on my own thoughts and you should look to the NHC for real info
