ATL: Ex INVEST 98L - Discussion

[ROCK]

Like I said if only 12-24 more hours over water. Look at that presentation.. sweet

[Craters]

Hey, Soupbone -- did any of those outer rain bands make their way up to you yet?? We got at least a little wet here in Brazoria County, and it looks like there's still a little bit more on the way before 98L moves out.

I'm not soupbone, but sun is shining bright in Spring Branch area in W. Houston. What's rain?

[lrak]

So thankful for the rain...Yes!

We've only had a 1/10 th so far here in CCTX, but a lot of potential remains, keeping fingers crossed.

Happier now?

Very happy Now we just need another invest to do the same northeast of here. Maybe this will move a little more north than west and helpl out SA area.

Might get a sprinkle up in W Houston.

Best looking system of the season so far, and is over land

[Kingarabian]

I am genuinely curious if the NHC will classify this in the off season.

Corpus recorded a surface pressure of 1009.4 mb's recently but that was after landfall.
There is a forecast wave with a 1010 mb dip passing over Barbados late next week.

Yeah. Seemed like a decent possibility from yesterday and Friday and got pointed out as something to look for. Could bring a lot more localized rain than the models were showing.

Into my unclassified depression/storm archive it goes!

And what is with Texas in particular where storms seem to organize quickly after moving inland? We had a couple back to back storms in June a few years ago, and several in June/July 1998 (and many others over the years) and several tropical storms have made landfall and looked significantly better organized inland vs over water.

Port Aransas reported gale-force wind gusts near the CoC.

I believe this was probably a td... We'll see about post seasons but I don't know if the nhc upgrades invest to depression post season.

[Kingarabian]

Its landfalling behavior is very similar to previous TC's. Just depends if the NHC has the criteria available to do a post season analysis. Either way the risk of this system was the same whether it was classified a TC or not.

They put up watches and warning boxes for the thunderstorms and squall winds.
A C130 uses about 300 LBS of fuel an hour to fly over a storm and set dropsondes.
Besides that its Sunday, the cows in Texas are happy and we need the resources for September analysis.

Saved visible loop

Saved IR loop

[Iceresistance]

Lots of Flooding rainfall in Southern Texas right now.

[InfernoFlameCat]

System is still presentable 23-24 hours after landfall.

[Edwards Limestone]

Lots of Flooding rainfall in Southern Texas right now.

Too bad it's not further north/updip in the Hill Country. We are bone dry.

The shear associated w/ the death ridge is very evident even on radar. Of course, this is the one storm where the north/east side aren't favored

It has something to do with the shape of the western GOM coastline and perhaps the inland topography, westward-moving systems tend to wrap up into nice-looking compact round presentational right as they reach the coastline. You'd expect dry air from the Sierra Oriental and from central Texas to contribute more interference yet it doesn't seem to happen that way. I'd love to see research on the subject.

[cycloneye]

Very interesting.
