I have to drive from Dallas to Austin Thursday, I think most of this will have moved east by then, any thoughts?


Thursday the worst of the rain should be in Louisiana you should be fine.

Thats the center btw.

To be clear, that's nowhere near where recon fixed the center. But I agree


Recon could be going after the old & decaying circulation, I'm thinking that when they fly north towards base is when they are going to find the New CoC

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.

Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.

Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information

Since there seem to be multiple eddies within a broad rotating circulation, one of those could become dominant under the deep convection. This weak LLC won’t survive for much longer being so displaced from any convection.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

It looks nasty on radar

My personal prediction for landfall intensity right now is 65kts, mainly due to how disorganized Nick is at the moment. Could be stronger than that if it gets organized quicker and tracks further east, but it could be lower if it tracks further west and interacts with land quicker. If one of those starts to happen I will adjust accordingly but I think 65kts is a good safe prediction in between the two. Of course the rainfall/flood threat is the much bigger issue here.

Not an official forecast of course.

I’ve been thinking Matagorda since I woke-up and did my first run through on the weather. I see no reason to change my thinking yet. I didn’t post - I just got to work.

Spent the day blowing off the roof, cleaning out the gutters and connecting my downspouts to the new drainage system that runs to the street. I covered my new catch drains with beach pebble - good sized rock. Hauling rock around was actually kinda fun for me - I like working outside and it’s a free workout.

I also cleaned-out the cylinder rain gauge. We are ready for the rain.

Agree with that matagorda landfall. COC will relocate .

Looking like HH's finding a center more along the lines with the forecast track at this time.

NHC adjusted the track to eastern Matagorda Bay then straight over Houston. That would increase the heavy rain threat east of Houston to BPT/LCH. Would be better for Houston area as far as rainfall. Ok, bed time. Getting up 4:30 am or so.

Looks like the NHC shifted a bit east.

InfernoFlameCat wrote:The band to the north of Nicholas could possibly offset the shear by disrupting the air current imparted by the trough over Louisiana. such intense convection can really be a shield for the tropical system. But, 40knots of shear is very intense.

Look at that. Almost no shear present behind that wall of convection band but north of it those upper level clouds are really being pulled north. This might give enough time for Nicholas to RI if that convective blob that I think is the center continue to organize.

Probably a center relocation. Sucks for me and you.
